Henry Cejudo weighed 147lb and Javon Walton 146.5lb on Friday for Cejudo's professional boxing debut, which headlines Misfits Boxing's card at the James L. Knight Center in Miami on Saturday, according to the results published by MMA Mania.
Tony Ferguson came in at 162.5lb for his Misfits middleweight title defence, four pounds lighter than Mahmoud Sebie at 166.5lb. Sebie, who wrestled for Egypt at the 2016 Rio Olympics, stepped in on four days' notice after Kenzo Biyong withdrew over travel problems, MixedMartialArts.com reported, and the two got heated at the weigh-in, in a clip posted by Misfits.
The card starts at 6pm Eastern time, which is 11pm on Saturday in the UK and Ireland, and is streamed on DAZN, MMA Mania reported. With six fights on the card, the Cejudo main event is likely in the early hours of Sunday, UK time; bout times have not been published.
Cejudo, the former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion and 2008 Olympic wrestling gold medallist, was due to face Deen The Great before he pulled out. Walton, 20, is best known as an actor in Euphoria. "People don't realize he's been a professional boxer his whole life," DAZN host Lauren Blake Boultier said of him.
