The prince of Philippine boxing, Albert Pagara, was overweight during the official and final weigh-in yesterday after he weighed 141.3 lbs, which is 6.3 lbs over the 135-pound lightweight limit.
Meanwhile, undefeated Australian prospect Billy Polkinghorn had no weight problems after recording 134.4 lbs.
The two will still fight later in Australia. But the sad thing is, even if Pagara wins, he will not be able to claim the coveted WBC Australasia Lightweight Belt due to his overweight status.
