Sergey Kovalev weighed in slightly lighter than Vyacheslav Shabranskyy ahead of their WBO light-heavyweight world title clash.
'Krusher', who returns to the ring following back-to-back losses to Andre Ward, hit the scales at 12st 6lb, while Ukraine's Shabranskyy weighed 12st 7lb, both inside the light-heavyweight limit.
The Russian powerhouse is determined to re-establish himself in the division and once again unify world titles, and Kovalev has vowed to return to his best against Shabranskyy this Sunday morning at Madison Square Garden in New York, live on Sky Sports.
Speaking to Sky Sports earlier this week, Kovalev said: "Every fight for me is very important, but not for every fight I was ready 100 per cent.
"I felt in my last boxing fight that I was ready 100 per cent, but right now I understand that I wasn't. Right now we'll see November 25 what the difference will bring to Sergey 'Krusher' Kovalev.
I feel very motivated and I'm going to do everything in my power and with my experience to take the belt home.
"It's a great opportunity to get back one of my belts and I want to prove for myself who I really am.
"I'm very happy. I'm just waiting for fight day and I'm going to close a lot of questions from the haters and celebrate."
Watch Sergey Kovalev vs Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, from Madison Square Garden, New York, in the early hours of Sunday, November 26, live on Sky Sports.
