STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - Ukraine's reigning world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk hit the scales 12 pounds lighter than British challenger Daniel Dubois at Friday's weigh-in for Saturday's title clash in Wroclaw, Poland.
The Ukrainian, who carries the hopes of a nation battling a Russian invasion, had weighed in at 100.5kg for his most recent fight against Britain's Anthony Joshua a year ago in Saudi Arabia. Dubois, 25 and with a professional record of 19 wins and one defeat, was first on the scales and at his lightest in six years, seven pounds lighter than at his most recent fight.
The two fighters were introduced on stage by American ring announcer Michael Buffer who tried to liven up the otherwise muted proceedings, with Usyk holding up flags of support for Ukraine.
