Calzaghe makes weight comfortably

Joe Calzaghe came in just over a pound light of the 12-stone limit at the public weigh-in, but Mikkel Kessler had to strip naked to make the weight.


Calzaghe weighed 11st 12lb 7oz ahead of their super-middleweight unification bout in the early hours of Sunday.

But Kessler was initiallly two ounces over before shedding his underwear to weigh-in at exactly 12-stone.

The pair were pulled apart when their head-to-head threatened to get heated as they rubbed foreheads together.
