Devin Haney and Yuriorkis Gamboa both weighed in at the 135-pound limit Friday, a day before they’ll meet in a 12-round lightweight bout at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, California.

Haney (24-0, 15 knockouts) will be making his second defense of the WBC lightweight title, while Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOs) will be trying to return to championship status after nearly nine years without a major world title.
