IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook and challenger Frankie Gavin successfully weigh in ahead of their fight at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night.

Kell Brook and Frankie Gavin have successfully weighed in ahead of their IBF welterweight contest at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night.

The duo came in just below the 147lbs limit to confirm that they will become the first British fighters to face each other for a welterweight world title.

Jorge Linares, who is defending his WBC lightweight belt against Kevin Mitchell, initially came in four ounces over the 135lbs limit, but he made weight less than an hour later after dropping down to 134.1lbs.

Lee Selby and Evgeny Gradovich both made weight ahead of their IBF featherweight bout, while heavyweight Anthony Joshua came in almost two stones heavier than opponent Kevin Johnson.
