Amir Khan and Kell Brook locked eyes in a furious final face-off after avoiding a huge fine by hitting the weight limit at Friday’s weigh-in.
Khan and Brook will finally settle their feud inside the ring in Manchester on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Khan was 10st 7lbs 5oz, a pound lighter than Brook, but both were inside the 10st 9lbs (149lbs) limit.
A six-figure fine loomed for every pound that either fighter exceeded the limit by.
Brook had previously teased that he might willingly pay a fine to be bigger and heavier than Khan.
