Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall almost came to blows during their face-off after weighing in and had to be separated by security.
The rivals will meet in Glasgow on Saturday night as Taylor looks to defend his undisputed super-lightweight titles whilst Catterall aims to produce a massive upset.
Taylor stepped on the scale at 140lbs for the fight whilst Catterall weighed in just under at 139lbs.
After Taylor successfully made weight, he charged towards Catterall as the pair butted heads and exchanged words.
Catterall grabbed his rival by the neck during the face-off which prompted Taylor to do the same and shove his rival backwards.
Security was quick to step in and prevent the altercation from escalating any further as the pair continued to badmouth each other whilst being restrained.
Taylor thinks Catterall is not on his level and doesn't see anyway in which his rival can beat him unless he is caught by a "big shot".
"I just don't know how he is going to win," he said at the pre-fight press conference. "I feel like he is going to try and walk me on to a big shot.
"I think I know what he is doing, I feel like he has been watching me and my previous fight against Regis Prograis, the last southpaw I boxed. I fought with emotion and my head due to personal circumstances.
"So I think I know they are going to try and base their work on me from that fight like tactically and that is not enough. I am nice and relaxed, it has been a long two years for everyone.
"I'm enjoying this I have been starved of it for two years, this is the way big fights should be and I am enjoying it."

Catterall stepped aside to allow Taylor's undisputed clash against Jose Ramirez to take place last May.
The 28-year-old is frustrated having fought just once since 2019 but is confident he can pull off the upset in his long-awaited world title shot.
"It has come ten fold, I was mandatory for the WBO title and after waiting two years I have a chance now to capture the undisputed," he said.
"I have not come up here to just make up the numbers I have been working hard in the gym continuously for the last eighteen months for this opportunity.
"I know what I am capable of and I know how hard I have prepared and I take confidence from this work I have put in. I have certainly done everything in my capability to be unsettled so we will see on Saturday night."
