The pair then went head to head for the traditional face-off ahead of meeting again, three years after Butler edged a split decision in Newcastle, to take Darlington Hall's world title away.

The bantamweight battle is an eliminator that could set up a shot at WBA champion, Jamie McDonnell, and is the main event on a packed card in Liverpool.

Sean 'Masher' Dodd continued his antics, taking to the scales in a nappy with a dummy, after Saturday's opponent, Thomas Stalker, labelled him a "big baby" at Thursday's press conference.

Dodd, who defends his Commonwealth lightweight title, came in at 9st 8lbs, with former Team GB captain, Stalker, 9st 9lbs.
