JAKARTA--With IBF supervisor Lindsey Tucker in attendance, both IBF 105-lb champion Muhammad Rachman and Filipino challenger Florante Condes took part in the day-of-the-fight weigh-in held moments ago here.

The IBF has a rule that both the champion and challenger should not weigh more than 115 lbs on the morning of the fight for those fighting under the 105-lb category.

Rachman came in at a shade over 108 lbs, while Condes checked in at 110 lbs to the delight of organizers.

Also in attendance at the final weigh-in was American referee Wayne Hedgepetch as well as the three judges working the bout, and co-promoter Tourino Tidar.
