Making the ‘non -fun’ medium weight for eubank
Staying in the middle weight remains a task in itself for Eubank, who had some major medium -sized career fighting in the super middle career before returning to the 160lb Division.
“It is difficult. I will not lie. It’s not fun. It’s not good. Part of the sport that has to boil yourself in a certain weight,” said Eubank Jr.
“Adding to the fact that I can’t even drink as much as I want after weighing, adds another element of worry, difficulty for what I’m going through.”
But the only 10lb adding should not be so problematic for Benn, who is throwing two weights by good weight, having entered 10 10lb for his latest victory over Peter Dobson in February 2024.
Can Eubank lose weight again?
Eubank must face this extra weight on the morning of the war on Saturday. With the terms of the agreement for this period, no boxer can be more than 10 BS above the middle weight limit when their weight is controlled between 8 and 9 morning Saturday morning.
Benn, a natural light weight, is not expected to put much more on top of 156.4 BS that he weighed on Friday.
“In the ring probably just wear 6 other bs, five or now, that’s it. 162, 163 bs night. He will donate a stone. But we know it’s the danger of war,” said Benn Eddie Hearn promoter Heavenly.
This rehydration clause means that Eubank should not be more than 170 BS on Libra on Saturday morning. If he lacks that weight, he would not endanger the war, but he will face further financial fines.
Hearn expects Eubank to make that weight.
“It will be too expensive for him if he does not love him and he loves a pound,” said Hearn, who wouldn’t say how good he might be, but added that it was “enough to make you not want to do it.”
