Tommy Fury v Jordan Grant: Hamilton boxing star weighs in ahead of huge fight

Jordan Grant has weighed in before his massive fight against Tommy Fury tomorrow night.

The Hamilton hitman looked in brilliant condition as he tipped the scales at 189lbs 6oz which is on weight for a light heavyweight.

The 23 year-old is aiming to cause a huge upset against Tyson Fury's younger brother, Tommy. The former Love Island contestant weighed in 6oz lighter than his Scottish opponent at 189lbs.

Both fighters are unbeaten in their professional career ahead of tomorrow night's clash which is live on BT Sport from 7pm.

Grant has been presented with a huge opportunity to showcase his skillset in a high-profile fight against Fury.

The former Hamilton Grammar pupil was only announced as Fury's opponent earlier this week but he's more than ready.

He told Lanarkshire Live: “It’s four rounds and 12 minutes I have to change my life.

"It definitely will change it in some way so I’m going down there to give it my all, and I will.

“I had to jump at the opportunity and take the gamble of getting my medicals done. I had a gut feeling it was going to happen.

“We knew they were going to give us the call and sure enough they did, and we’re ready for it.

“On their corner, they’ll think I’m coming here unprepared, that’s what they’re hoping for but I’m here to cause a surprise.
