Chris Eubank Jr vowed to put on a “fight of the decade contender” in his rematch with Conor Benn on Saturday.
The bitter rivals engaged in a final tense face-off at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-in at the iconic York Hall in Bethnal Green.
Eubank looked emotionless but Benn, who said he was too fiery when he lost their first fight in April, appeared the more charged of the two.
“Everything is on track for a Chris Eubank Jr knockout win,” Eubank said.
“This is what I love to do, this is my life. I’m not excited, this is what I was bred to do. I can’t wait to go out there and show the world yet again.
“The first fight was a fight of the year contender. This fight will be a fight of the decade contender.”
After being the stars of the news conference on Thursday, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn were not on stage for the weigh-in.
The boxers weighed in officially on Friday morning behind closed doors and both tipped the scales at 11st 5lb (72kg).
Despite it only being a ceremonial weigh-in, the scales were turned on and Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn said Benn weighed 11st 13lb (76kg) with Eubank two pounds lighter.
Both fighters are bound by a rehydration clause that prohibits them from weighing more than 12st 1lb (77kg) on Saturday morning.
