Deontay Wilder weighed in for the third defence of his WBC world heavyweight title lighter than challenger Artur Szpilka.
The American (35-0-KO34) clocked 228lb on the scales after Polish visitor Szpilka (20-1-KO15) - looking in the shape of his career and enjoying some noisy support - had tipped the scales at 233lb.
The two nearly came to blows in their last face off and had plenty to say to each other on this occasion, but promoter Lou DiBella was determined to keep them separated as Szpilka repeatedly told Wilder: "You're going down."
