Gennady Golovkin 167.8, Kell Brook 168 - IBF's Fight Day Weighin
By Elliot Foster
Gennady Golovkin and Kell Brook each made weight for the IBF’s on-the-day weigh-in.
The pair, who will clash for ‘GGG’s’ WBC, IBF and IBO middleweight world titles at London’s O2 Arena, exclusively live on Sky Sports Box Office, tonight, were inside the 10-pound limit.
After weighing in at the Indigo at the O2 yesterday, in front of the world’s media and a crowd of excited fans, inside the middleweight limit, Golovkin and Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) had to watch their weights ahead of this morning’s check-weigh.
Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs), who came in at 159lbs on Friday, added 8.8lbs to his weight as he tipped at 167.8lbs this morning.
‘The Special One’, on the other hand, was heavier than Golovkin yesterday and weighed in bang-on the super-middleweight limit of 168lbs when he got on the scales at the hotel.
