WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn has made the weight on his second try during his official weigh-in at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Jeff Horn has made the weight on his second attempt for his mandatory WBO welterweight championship defence against Terence Crawford.

Horn clocked in at exactly 147 pounds (66.67kg) - right on the limit - at the weigh-in on Friday (Saturday NZ time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, where the bout will take place.

Earlier, he was over the weight and was forced to strip naked in an effort to get under. He was given an hour to lose weight before trying again.

Crawford had no such troubles, tipping the scales at 146.6 pounds (66.45kg), ahead of what will be his first fight in this division, having won titles in two other weight classes.
