An hour later, he tipped the scales at 139.9 pounds. Hatton weighed 139.8 pounds. In the makings of a classic, Tszyu defends his IBF junior welterweight title against the unbeaten local favorite and mandatory challenger, Hatton, Saturday on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) in Manchester. The highly anticipated Tszyu-Hatton scheduled 12-round bout starts at 2 a.m. England time.
