Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley weighed in for their DAZN PPV main event on Friday evening in London—and it was the New Zealander who came in heavier.
Parker hit the scales at 262.4 pounds while Ipswich's Wardley came in at 242.7 pounds.
The fight will take place at O2 Arena in Greenwich and headline a Queensberry Promotions card.
The pair will do battle for Parker's WBO 'interim' heavyweight title, with the winner in line to face Ring and undisputed champion, Oleksandr Usyk, in 2026.
Parker is The Ring's No. 2-ranked heavyweight while Wardley sits at No. 6. Parker hasn't fought since a second-round stoppage win over Martin Bakole in February and Wardley last fought in June, knocking out Justis Huni in the 10th round of their Portman Road clash.
Elsewhere on the bill, Royston Barney-Smith came in at 129.9 pounds for his junior lightweight bout with Danny Quartermaine, who weighed 0.6 pounds lighter.
Ezra Taylor and Steed Woodall were also under the limit for their light heavyweight contest.
