Things got tense as Andre Dirrell (24-1, 16 KOs) and James DeGale (20-1, 14 KOs) came face to face at their official weighin. Both fighters came in inside the super middleweight limit. Dirrell weighed in at 167.8 pounds, while DeGale weighed in at 167.2 pounds. They will trade punches tomorrow night in the NBC televised main event, as part of the Premier Boxing Champions series. The vacant IBF world championship will be on the line when both fighters trade punches in Boston.

Dirrell looking to redeem himself after a losing out to Carl Froch on a controversial decision several years ago, and DeGale make his debut on American soil and wants to become the first boxing in the UK to win an Olympic gold medal and then go pro to win a world championship.

After several weeks of building up the fight, the two boxers started trading some more verbal taunts at the weighin.
