Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke both appeared in confident fashion despite a near-thirty-pound gulf at the weigh-in for Riyadh Season's IV Crown Showdown live on DAZN.
The two will contest a heavyweight rematch on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol's undisputed bout at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Defending British champion Wardley was the quieter of the two men on stage, and came in significantly lighter than his challenger at 241.6lbs for the hotly anticipated clash.
Clarke meanwhile came in at a huge 271.3lbs, and looked every inch the potential champion with an exuberant array of poses on the scales before a close head-to-head face-off.
After a quick handshake, the challenger promised to deliver, stating: "There's a lot of professional rivalry here. He wants to win, I want to win, and there can only be one."
Wardley backed up his rival's vow too, adding: "I'm not going to be on one of the biggest stages and not deliver. Saturday night's going to be fantastic."
