World champion Nick Ball and challenger Ronny Rios both successfully made weight for Saturday’s WBA featherweight title contest in Liverpool.
Ball, 27, will defend his belt in front of a home crowd at the M&S Bank Arena.
He tipped the scales at 8st 13lb, with American Rios just a fraction heavier at 9st.
The BBC will bring you radio commentary and live text commentary from 20:00 BST on Radio 5 Sports Extra, before switching to Radio 5 Live at 22:00.
Friday’s weigh-in kept up the theme of a respectful and low-key fight week.
Rios, 34, was first to look away after the obligatory face-off before Ball darted off the stage without a handshake.
Ball – who lives a stone’s throw away from the fight venue – will compete in his home city for the first time since February 2020.
He won his maiden world title with a close points victory over Raymond Ford in June.
The only blemish on Ball’s record is a controversial draw against WBC title holder Rey Vargas in March, a fight many thought the Briton clearly won.
Rios has lost four times in 38 bouts, but has competed just twice since 2021.
