Derek Chisora wore a mask depicting Zhilei Zhang’s face when he weighed in for his fight with Joe Joyce on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London.

Chisora provoked Joyce at the fight-week press conference by claiming he had PTSD from being stopped by Zhang on successive occasions. On Friday he then wore a mask of the Chinese heavyweight to their weigh-in. Chisora hit the scales at 256.7lbs – 4.7lbs heavier than his past contest, against Gerald Washington. Joyce weighed in for the contest at 281.2lbs – the same as when he faced Zhang the second time.

Dennis McCann and Ionut Baluta shared another heated face-off in a rematch of their draw in 2023. They had to be separated, but both made weight ahead of their contest for the vacant European super-bantamweight title.

Ryan Garner and Archie Sharp were both inside the 130lbs junior-lightweight limit.

The heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma hit the scales at 239.8lbs ahead of his step-up against Mariusz Wach. The Polish veteran weighed 287.4lbs.
