Conor Benn takes to Instagram to show drastic difference in physique pre and post weigh-in
A boxer’s weight on the scales the day before a fight can be very misleading.
Whether they weigh in at the lightweight limit of 135lbs, the middleweight limit of 160lbs, or Conor Benn’s chosen division of welterweight at 147lbs, it is very rare that the fighter will actually be the same weight come fight night.Boxers will often fight at a weight up to 20lbs lighter than their natural weight by severely dehydrating ahead of a weigh-in to gain a size advantage over their opponent.
That is the idea, but nowadays so many boxers do it that it is almost a necessary practice to stay competitive. British welterweight power-puncher, Benn, took to his Instagram recently to show the drastic difference in his physique pre and post weigh-in.And the difference is obvious, as you can see below.‘s crazy post weigh-in rehydration, when the Brit jumped up two divisions to take on the Mexican at a catchweight of 155 lbs.
