Alvaro Rodriguez
Spanish boxer Alvaro "Ardy" Rodriguez weighs in for a fight against Thomas Ward on July 28, 2018 in Houghton le Spring, England, for the International Boxing Federation's intermediate title. The official proclaims that he is one pound over the weight limit.
No modesty towel for this weigh-in, and that's how it should be. Rodriguez managed to lose one pound before the fight, but despite being the Spanish champion in his weight category, he lost the match to his unbeaten British opponent Thomas Ward.

Amazing, really, when you think about it. Not only does the guy have to stand there butt naked, surrounded by 4 or 5 officials, he is also being filmed. Being "ashamed" is definitely not an option.
I wonder if the reason for the towel shields is so the press can take photos which can actually be published in papers. Though, I don't think I've ever seen a weigh-in photo anywhere except here,
Yes, naked, as it should be.
