Lewis Crocker and Liam Paro both hit the scales at exactly the same weight as both came in under the 147lbs limit for tomorrow's IBF welterweight title clash.

Like his challenger, Crocker weighed 146.9lbs ahead of the maiden defense that Paro, 27-1 (16 KOs), is plotting to spoil in Brisbane, Australia.

Crocker, 22-0 (11 KOs), has embraced his underdog status throughout the build-up. That's a mistake, promised Paro.

"The underdog talk already tells me something," said Paro. "But everyone processes things differently. That's the way he deals with it. It's different to how I deal with it. We're not the same men."

Crocker won the then-vacant belt in his home city of Belfast, against the odds, in September with a split decision victory over Paddy Donovan. Paro formerly owned the IBF junior welterweight title until he was outpointed by Richardson Hitchins in 2024. Paro, and plenty of observers, believe him having home advantage will be one of the keys to him winning a second divisional title.

"If you ask 99 people here, they're going to say Paro is going to win," said Crocker. "Everything's meant to happen for a reason. We're in Australia, fighting the biggest fight of my life; that's all I'm focused on."
