Gervonta Davis successfully made weight as the drama unfolded on the scales ahead of the American’s two-division world title battle with Leo Santa Cruz.
As Davis hit under his 130 pounds target, alongside his opponent, it was Regis Prograis who took the spotlight.
Prograis came in a pound and a half over the 140-pound limit for his forthcoming return to action.
Opponent Juan Heraldez then began negotiations with Prograis and his team. The pair then reached a monetary agreement to continue with the fight.
All bouts in the Pay Per View portion on Showtime remain unaffected.
