IBF, IBO and WBO World Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko, also known as Dr. Steelhammer, was just a bit heavier than his challenger Samuel Peter, the Nigerian Nightmare, the Klitschko brothers' website reported.
Klitschko (54-3, 48 KOs), whose height is 199 cm, weighed 112 kg, and Peter (34-3, 27 KOs) is 188 cm and 109.5 kg. The two stepped on the scales in Frankfurt.
The two heavyweights will face off at Commerzbank-Arena Frankfurt/Main, Germany on Saturday. Over 50,000 tickets have been sold.
"I'm in better shape than five years ago when I fought Peter for the first time. Expect a fast knockout," Wladimir promised.
When the two met five years ago, Peter knocked Wladimir down three times but lost by points.
