Also pictured is fight promoter Brian Peters and Lee's manager and trainer Emanuel Steward. Both Lee and Falliga weighed just under the middleweight limit with each tipping the scales at 11 stone 5 lbs (159 lbs) ahead of tomorrow nights first ever pro fight night in Lee's native Limerick.

Paul McCloskey (right) and Manuel Garnica (left) square off after weighing in for their scheduled 10 round bout. Also pictured is fight promoter Brian Peters. Both men weighed exactly the same at 10 stone 2 lbs (142 lbs).

Unfortunately the Matthew Macklin – Christophe Karagoz fight was cancelled late last night as Karagoz was unable to travel from France due to a family emergency and an opponent of sufficient calibre for Macklin could not be confirmed at such short notice.
