Eubank vs Benn 2: Both fighters make weight for rematch

Just like when Eubank and Benn fought in April, they both have a rehydration clause to adhere to; This means none of them can gain more than 10 kilos between Friday’s weigh-in and Saturday morning.

Benn’s team thinks the rehydration clause allows for a more level playing field.

The weight disparity, brought about by Benn jumping up two divisions for this contest, was a hot topic in the build-up to both fights.

In April, Eubank missed the 11st 6lb middleweight limit by 0.05lb at the weigh-in, but came in comfortably below the rehydration limit the next day.

Fighters often shed fat throughout training camps to get closer to the agreed upon or prescribed weight limit.

They may stay hydrated to lose the last of their weight before the weigh-in the day before fight night.

Losing water weight close to fighting allows them to refuel with food and water much more easily.

Eubank says he usually weighs in at about 14 pounds after the weigh-in.
