There were no issues at the scales Friday afternoon in Brooklyn for the two fights Showtime will televise Saturday night. London’s James DeGale (23-1, 14 KOs), the IBF super middleweight champion, weighed in at 166.5 pounds at Barclays Center for his 168-pound championship unification fight there against Badou Jack, the WBC world super middleweight champion.
“It’s simple,” DeGale, 30, said following the weigh-in. “I’m unique. Speed, skill. … I’ve got no question or doubt that I will become the unified world champion.”
The 33-year-old Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOs), of Stockholm, Sweden, weighed in at 167.25 pounds.
“It was the best camp of my life, of my career,” Jack said. “You see 167.2, we made the weight easy. Let’s get it on. You’ll have to wait and see Saturday. Don’t blink. It could be over quickly.”
