Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano did what they needed to do Friday and now their highly-anticipated junior middleweight championship fight is all set for Saturday night.
As their camps exchanged fiery words and even needed to be separated from each other at the Thompson San Antonio – Riverwalk – Solana Ballroom for the live weigh-in, Castano registered 153 1/4 pounds on the scale. Moments later, a chiseled Charlo stepped onto the scaled and weighed in at 153 pounds even.
Charlo's WBA (Super), WBC and IBF titles along with Castano's WBO strap will all be on the line Saturday night at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Tex., as boxing will crown its first undisputed champion in the modern four-belt era.
Although a potential skirmish between the camps cooled when Charlo and Castano shook hands, the co-main event of the main card had its fair share of controversy on the scale beforehand.
That's where Anthony Yigit registered 140.2 pounds — 5.2 pounds overweight on the 135-pound limit for his fight against WBA interim lightweight champion Rolando Romero. That means that the late replacement, Yigit, can still win the fight, but cannot be crowned the new champion due to his weigh-in blunder.
Here's how the entire Charlo vs. Castano weigh-in went.
