Hutchinson, 28, was first to step on to the scales at Friday's ceremonial weigh-in and was greeted by huge cheers from his boisterous following.

Buatsi, however, had to be weighed twice in the official weigh-in on Friday morning after he was initially an ounce (28 grammes) over the light-heavyweight limit.

The 33-year-old made the championship weight of 12st 7lb (79kg) at the second attempt after taking his clothes off, with Hutchinson then making a derogatory reference to Buatsi being overweight when they came face to face later in the evening.
