Camp Khurtsidze: The scales were off!

Avtandil Khurtsidze’s main coach claims the scales that stated his man was overweight when he tipped the scales today were incorrect.

Khurtsidze is back in the title chase after making the weight for his clash with Tommy Langford at the second attempt.

Their bout for the interim WBO world middleweight title at the Leicester Arena tomorrow night will now go ahead, live on BoxNation and BT Sport.

Khurtsidze was given two hours to get 0.6lb off after coming in over and made the cut second time around, so his clash with Langford is on.

Had the 37-year-old Georgian, who lives in the United States, not made weight only Langford could have won the belt.

His trainer Andre Rozier claims his man was bang on with the scales they used beforehand, talking to Seconds Out reporter Craig Birch.
