Tyson Fury weighed in over 25 pounds lighter than Mariusz Wach at the weigh in on Thursday, ahead of their heavyweight clash in Thailand.
Fury faces veteran contender, Wach at the Max Muaythai Stadium in Pattaya over 10 rounds on Friday.
‘The Gypsy King’ fighting for the first time since a unanimous decision win over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, donned a red Versace robe before tipping the scales at 265lbs, just 2.9 pounds lighter than he weighed against the Russian.
Wach, 46, meanwhile came in at a whopping 291.4lbs, 26.4 pounds heavier than the two-time heavyweight world champion.
Fury and Wach then locked eyes for the final time, with the Brit standing on his tip toes in a jovial final face off, which took place at the Melia Hotel in Pattaya.
The Brit fights a day before arch-rival Anthony Joshua, who takes on Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Victory for both men will ensure a long-awaited meeting between the pair in November, although a date and location for the fight is still to be determined.
“I’ve never faced a man heavier than me,” the 37-year-old said at the weigh in.
“This man is nearly two-and-a-half stone heavier than me.
“I want to keep busy.
“I’m not banking myself on any fight happening that might not happen.
“I want to keep busy. I’m a fighter.

“The main thing I’ve always wanted to do that I’ve never been able to do is stay busy all the time and this year is the year of Tyson Fury staying busy.”
Wach has lost 13 times in his 52-fight professional career and is coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Viktor Vykhryst.
The bout will not be broadcast live and will instead air on the third series of At Home With The Furys on Netflix later this year.
Fury says he is not earning anything from Saturday’s bout with money raised from ticket sales going to the Father Ray Foundation, helping underprivileged children in Pattaya.
In the chief support, Daniel Baer weighed in at 278lbs, over 32 pounds heavier than Simon Ibekwe ahead of their heavyweight clash.
