TJ Doheny issued a warning to Michael Conlan’s fans after the pair weighed in on Thursday.
Both men hit the scales at the Devenish Complex ahead of their big fight at Falls Park on Friday night.
Former super-bantamweight world champion Doheny weighed in at 123.8lbs, while Conlan came in 2oz over the 124lbs catchweight limit.
Conlan stripped down before stepping on the scales, with trainer Adam Booth shielding the Belfast fighter with a towel.
Doheny and his trainer Hector Bermudez watched on with interest, and after reading the scales they had s simple message for the fans in attendance
“Oh, your man’s in trouble now,” they declared.
And as the Belfast crowd roared their support for Conlan, Doheny countered: “I don’t know what you’re clapping for, your man is in trouble.”
The weight issue has dominated fight week, with the contest originally set for the 122lbs super-bantamweight limit, before being moved up to 124lbs.

Doheny claimed he was only notified of the WBA title on Monday after preparing for a fight at super-bantamweight, while Conlan said his opponent knew of the 124lbs catchweight two weeks ago.
But after all is said and done, at least we have a fight on Friday night.
