A bigger, and hopefully more powerful, Joseph Parker will enter the ring in Sunday morning's rematch against Derek Chisora in Manchester, with the Kiwi heavyweight weighing in at a career high.
Parker, 29, tipped the scales at 114kg ahead of his second fight against Chisora - almost 5kg heavier than he was for the first fight between the two in May, won by the Kiwi via a split decision.
Parker's previous heaviest weight heading into the ring was 111.13kg to face American Shawndell Winters in February 2020, which he won thanks to a fifth round TKO.
Meanwhile, Chisora weighed in at 113kg - slightly lighter than he was for the first bout back in May - while also conceding the height and reach advantage to the Kiwi.
Chisora stands at 187cm, shorter than Parker's 193cm, while his reach of 188cm is five centimetres less than Parker's 193cm.
On Friday (NZ time) Parker also made an unheard of prediction, that he would knock Chisora out between rounds six and ten in Sunday's rematch.
The Kiwi has been training out of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury's MTK Global gym in Morecambe, England, under the watchful eye of new trainer Andy Lee.
Parker is currently ranked second by the WBO and sits in the top 10 in the IBF and WBA heavyweight standings.
A win over Chisora is likely to lead to a WBO title eliminator against undefeated Brit Joe Joyce.
