If your weigh-in is a full 4 hours before the match, I would go VERY light on all diet until that point. Not too much roughage (salads and such) or fiber (fruits and nuts, grains) as you will bloat and you do NOT want your bowels in an uproar during a match.
Tonight, I suggest eating several small meals of pasta and high protein. Chicken or tuna and pasta is great, but make it several smaller meals. Tomarrow, I would not eat a darned thing until the weigh-in. AFTER the weigh-in I would load up on natural sugars from fruits, potatoes (higher potassium than banannas- aids in keeping cramps down) and easily digested proteins (do NOT hit McDonald's). I also suggest some energy drinks and caffeine pills- not enough to make you jittery, but enough to keep the cobwebs at bay.
This should help you make weight but also give you enough sustained energy for any ring activity.

I do taekwondo (its a matial art ) the night before i passed my red belt i ate early did loadsa exercice so i slept well then i ate natural sugars during the day to give me natural energy and a lift!
tip for the fight- know his weaknesses if he has a weak part on his body for example: i realized when i was fighting a girl in a competition that she had a weakness in her kicks the only way to block an apchaghi (a type of punch) is a kick so i did loads and she fell onb her butt!
GOOD LUCK AND BE CONFIDENT!XX

The thing is, don't eat anything unusual. Fights last a matter of minutes, so carb loading isn't a particular concern. But if you eat something that disagrees with you, or that your body isn't used to consuming at that time of day, a gut-ache will deliver you into the hands of your oponent swiftly.
The night before isn't a time to try something new!
Best of luck!

For the night before a fight I'd go with a light pasta salad .

A nut roast! The nuts will give you tons of energy, released slowly. Have some lean meat with it such as chicken or fish. Also, porridge and bananas will give you loads and loads of slow released energy!!

you should eat lots of carbs and starchy foods for good energy. but also drink lots of water to kepp yourself good and hydrated. watch the fatty foods such as cookies and chips and pop. Good luck at the fight.
