In their April bout, Eubank Jr. missed the weight limit. He weighed 160.2lbs, which was 0.2lbs over the 160lbs limit. He received a fine of £375,000 to £500,000 for missing weight.

Weight Management Challenges
Benn weighed almost 3lbs heavier than he did for the first fight. He has spent most of his career competing at welterweight. For this rematch, he moved up two weight classes to face Eubank Jr.
The 29-year-old Benn typically fights at a much lower weight. The jump to middleweight has been a topic of discussion throughout both fight buildups. His team requested special weight provisions.
Rehydration Clause Requirements
Both fighters must adhere to a rehydration clause on Saturday morning. Neither man can weigh more than 170lbs when they step on the scales. This weigh-in happens on fight day morning.
The rehydration clause was included in their contract. Benn’s team believes this creates a more level playing field. It limits how much weight Eubank Jr. can regain after the official weigh-in.
In their April fight, Eubank Jr. weighed 169.4lbs at the rehydration weigh-in. He came in comfortably under the 170lbs limit. Eubank Jr. has stated he usually puts on about 14lbs after a weigh-in.

Fighters typically lose water weight before the official weigh-in. They can then refuel with food and water after making weight. The rehydration clause restricts this practice.
If either fighter exceeds 170lbs on Saturday morning, they face a fine. In extreme cases, the fight could be cancelled. However, cancellation is considered unlikely given the pay-per-view event status.
A ceremonial weigh-in took place Friday evening at York Hall in Bethnal Green. This event was open to the public. The main card airs on DAZN PPV starting at 11:45 a.m. ET on Saturday.
The 36-year-old Eubank Jr. successfully avoided the weight issues that plagued their first fight. Both fighters now face the final hurdle of Saturday morning’s rehydration weigh-in before their rematch can proceed.
