Taylor and Postol make weight

Scotland’s highly-rated Super Lightweight contender Josh Taylor (12-0-0) will headline against Ukraine’s former world champion Viktor Postol (29-1-0) tomorrow night, after both men made weight before a packed crowd at the St. Enoch Centre in Glasgow. Droves of fans turned out to support Taylor, who faces the toughest test of his career against the vastly-experienced Postol, live on Channel 5.

The up-and-coming pair both made weight comfortably, with McGregor weighing 8st 5lbs 12oz, and Mrema weighing 8st 5lbs 3oz.
