This lunch-time the weigh-in took place ahead of the titanic heavyweight clash on Saturday evening between Prince Charles Martin and Anthony Joshua for the IBF version of the title.
Held at the 02 Arena, the venue for the fight tomorrow night, it was a vociferous crowd that welcomed the champion and the challenger to the scales.
Joshua, slipping of his outer garment to reveal a body of a physique we can only dream of, scaled in at 17 stone 6 pounds.
Martin, not quite such a physical specimen, scaled in a pound heavier at 17 stones and 7 pounds.
Standing face-to-face, in the obligatory stare-down, there was no pushing and shoving, no snarling and the making of idle threats, instead both boxers showed respect for each other and the general feeling being that they are both quite nice chaps.
Now, after all the build-up, just the big-fight itself remains.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for Antony Joshua, how about you?
