Anthony Joshua will on Saturday have a slight weight advantage after weighing more than Daniel Dubois as the rivals stepped on the scales on Friday evening.
Joshua weighed in at 252.5lb compared to Dubois’ 248.6lb in front of hundreds of fans in London’s Trafalgar Square.
The last time both fought eight years ago, Dubious had the better of Joshua.
The two rivals then faced off for the final time before Dubois puts his heavyweight world title on the line in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley this weekend.
Meanwhile, Joshua has said he is “still in the battlefield” and quashed any suggestion of nearing the end of his career as the Briton weighed in heaviest for Saturday’s world-title challenge against Daniel Dubois.
Two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua, 34, takes on Dubois, 27, for the IBF belt at Wembley Stadium.
Joshua tipped the scales at 18st during an elaborate weigh-in at Trafalgar Square, with Dubois at a career-heavy 17st 10lb.
