Anthony Mundine vs. Jeff Horn weigh in video: start time, results

A particularly lean Mundine weighed 70.25 kg, while a much larger Horn weighed 70.5 kg.

The final confrontation between the two players was tempered when Mundine leaned close to his opponent and pushed him backwards. The father of the former champion had to hold him back while he was starting to talk to Horn.

"I'm just excited dude, I did not mean no harm. I'm a caged lion right now, "said Mundine, excused.

The man said he was doing the weight without a problem and would not get close to the 75 kg limit two hours before the fight.

"I did it easily," he said. "They changed the time from 18h to 14h and now 13h … so I'm malnourished. I will not have five pounds by tomorrow. (My prediction? Pain. Let's go! "

Horn shrugged off the altercation as the mic turned to him.

"He must have a hard time making that weight because he's out of control," Horn said.

The fighters agreed on a catch weight of 71 kg, which they had to undergo the day before the fight. The Horn camp has added a clause to prevent Mundine from packing in the last 24 hours, demanding that fighters do not come out more than 75 kg at the opening bell time.

In September, Courrier Mail reported that Horn's camp had asked Mundine to pay $ 50,000 for every 100 grams that exceeded the contract weight.

Mundine weighed 79.5 kg for his 10-lap loss to Danny Green last year, but dropped to 72 kg for his last fight, a win against Tommy Browne in January.

Horn normally fights at the 66 kg welterweight limit, but has racked up for tomorrow night's grudge match.

Horn is convinced he has more weight with extra weight, but Mundine, who called himself a "crusher of dreams" at Wednesday's press conference, thinks he's fighting at a weight less than he was used to giving him more speed and mobility in the ring.

Nearly two decades after leaving St George Illawarra to become a professional boxer, young Mundine is now preparing for his 57th fight against Jeff Horn in Brisbane on Friday.

The 43-year-old should lose to his youngest opponent, who is on the comeback track after his humble defeat by Terence Crawford in the US in June.
