After the weigh in for tomorrow’s fight, coach Dean Sugden commented: “Things didn’t go entirely to plan today, with a few delays and some confusion about the schedule of events.

“But despite these setbacks, Chad finally made the weight at 5.30pm local time. Now he’s doing what he always does in the hours leading up to a fight – relaxing with the rest of the team, staying calm but focused.

“And above all, he’s looking forward to getting into the ring and giving it everything he has – in his own words to me, ‘We’re gonna cause some trouble tomorrow!’”

With Chad’s fight second to last on the card, it’s expected to start at around 11pm – watch this space for confirmation…
