1 Terence Crawford hurled a barrage of insults at Kell Brook as the two boxers shared a fiery exchange during Friday’s weigh-in, behind-the-scenes footage shows.
Sheffield hero Brook takes on WBO welterweight champion Crawford in Las Vegas for the title on Saturday night – and the war has already begun.
Things got heated between the pairGetty Images - GettyThere were doubts over whether Brook, the former champion, would make weight following a dramatic body transformation in recent months, but the 34-year-old tipped the scales at 147lbs on the button.
While Crawford, who weighed-in at 146.4lbs, is considered one of boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighters, Brook is expected to carry a weight advantage into the fight.
The Brit does not need to complete a check weigh-in on Saturday and there is no rehydration clause, so Brook could increase his power between the official weigh-in and the fight.

“Let’s see how bad you want it tomorrow,” Crawford shouted at Brook.
“I stay in shape, that’s nothing. What’s being in shape going to do? I’m going beat your b**** a**.
“You’ll f****** see. You know m***********. Your whole f****** team knows.
“What the f*** you talking about filling up? I’m going to fill up too. I’ll fill up on your chin.”
