Haye and Valuev to hit the scales this afternoon
David Haye will know just how big the task that lies ahead of him is later today.
The Londoner and giant Russian Nikolai Valuev will weigh in ahead of their world-title showdown at 3pm this afternoon, live on
Sky Sports News.
There is no limit to make at heavyweight but the word in Nuremberg is that the champion, who stands at 7ft, will come in less than the 23 stones he has been known to weigh.
Valuev looks to have taken off around a stone, but even then will still have a massive weight advantage over the one-time cruiserweight.
Haye, who says his preparation couldn't have gone any better, is expected to come in at under 16 stones - and is likely to be giving six stones away.
"I haven't really got on the scales - I don't really know what I'm going to weigh," he said.
"I could be 15½stone, I could be 16, I really don't know and it doesn't bother me. As long as I am in optimum condition, which I am, I know the fight is going to go great."
Haye has been paying close attention to what he eats and has been using a high-energy diet.
It is designed to give him explosive energy as he bids to become the first man in 53 fights to knock Valuev out.
"I've just made sure my eating is as clean as possible, I haven't had any junk whatsoever," he said.
"Anything that has gone into my mouth has been organic, fresh and clean.
"A lot of heavyweights go out there and eat junk food. They think that just because they don't have to make weight, they shouldn't come in in prime condition. I don't believe in that ethos one bit."
