Heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua hit the scales 11kg heavier than Russian opponent Alexander Povetkin, as the two weighed in for Sunday's (NZ time) title fight at Wembley Stadium.
The Briton, who holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts, weighed in 111.6 kg, compared to the smaller Russian's 100.7kg.
Joshua, undefeated in his professional career with 20 knockouts in 21 fights, was 110kg for his last bout against Kiwi Joseph Parker at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on April 1.
Povetkin, the mandatory WBA challenger and, like Joshua, a past Olympic gold medallist, had weighed in for his previous fight against Britain's David Price at 104kg.
"He's going to be quick, he's going to be fast," said Joshua, after the last face-to-face appearance between the two before they meet in the ring.
"That's why I've got to put on my dancing shoes and be sharp with my feet.
"I'm a physical, strong guy - I know how to box - so it will be a good competitive fight," added the 28-year-old, who is 10cm taller than his Russian opponent.
Povetkin, 39, with a 34-1 career record, will fighting in front of an 80,000-strong crowd at a stadium that Joshua calls home. He said he felt great about it.
"The very least I will do is give everything I have," said the Russian, speaking through an interpreter. "I do think it's one of my last big chances."
Earlier in the week, Joshua said he expected Povetkin to be his toughest fight since Ukrainian giant Wladimir Klitschko.
Joshua knocked out Klitschko at Wembley in April 2017 and the 2012 Olympic champion has not fought at the stadium since then.
Povetkin, the 2004 Olympic super-heavyweight champion, lost to Klitschko in Moscow in 2013.
