The difference in performance was almost three kilograms
The weigh-in ceremony was held between the former “interim” WBC world champion Dillian Whyte (28-3, 19 KOs) and Jermain Franklin (21-0, 14 KOs).
The hitherto undefeated Franklin proved to be heavier than his opponent. Jermain’s weight was 116.57 kg while White was lighter by almost three kilograms – 113.85 kg.
Dillian has lost two of his last three fights. In April, White lost to Fury by TKO in the sixth round for the WBC heavyweight title.
Franklin had his last fight in May 2022, defeating American Rodney Moore in the eighth round.
The duel between Whyte and Franklin will take place at Wembley Stadium on November 26. The winner of the fight will most likely be the next opponent for former world champion Anthony Joshua.
