There were however concerns as to whether Paul would make the 200 lb cruiserweight limit for this contest. 

For his meeting with Mike Tyson in November, Paul weighed in at 227 lbs meaning for the fight against Chavez Jr, 'The Problem Child' would need to lose at least 27 lbs in weight to meet the cruiserweight limit. 

Just two weeks ago, Paul still had 15 lbs to shed prompting concerns about whether the fight would go ahead.

All those concerns were laid to rest on Friday with Paul registering 199.4 lbs on the scales, while Chavez Jr will be slightly lighter at 198.4 lbs.
