We're just about 24 hours away from one of the biggest boxing matches of the year.
A fight that will take place at the Shrine Mosque in Springfield.
Friday afternoon, three-time world champion Diego Corrales and Joshua Clottey weighed in at the Oasis Convention Center.
The fight was supposed to be at 147 pounds, but both fighters were over the weight limit.
Corrales weighed in at a little over 149 pounds. And Clottey was even heavier, at more than 151 pounds.
Since it's not a title fight, the two agreed to contract the fight at 149 pounds. Meaning Clottey had to drop two pounds two hours from the weigh-in time.
The fight is on Saturday night, and will be shown live on Showtime. There are still tickets available.
