To round off the weigh ins, the teenagers stepped up.  Polish teenager Filip Novak hit the scales at 53kg, while ProKick’s young gun Jay Snoddon weighed in at 56kg. As both guys are 14 years old, the match will be fought under light contact rules and this allows for a 4kg discrepancy in weight.

Check back at 5pm for more news on Cathy's opponent.
