Buatsi, Hutchinson Both Make Weight for WBC Interim Title Rematch

Both men got on the scale. Both men made 175. Now they get to settle it again.

Joshua Buatsi weighed 174.9 pounds and Willy Hutchinson 174.5 at Friday's official Point 2 Prove weigh-in at Freight Island in Manchester, according to Queensberry's official weights release. They rematch Saturday night at the AO Arena for the WBC interim light heavyweight title, live on DAZN.

Buatsi won the first meeting by split decision at Wembley Stadium in September 2024, dropping Hutchinson twice along the way. Hutchinson has been chasing the redo ever since. Queensberry bills Saturday as a world-title showdown in Manchester; BBC Sport and The Ring have the vacant/interim WBC 175-pound belt on the line.
