Anthony Joshua has promised "blood, sweat and tears" in the defence of his IBF heavyweight title against Eric Molina in Manchester on Saturday.
Britain's Joshua, 27, is making the second defence of the belt he won in April.
At Friday's weigh-in, the champion scaled 17st 12lb, six pounds heavier than for his last fight, while his American challenger scaled 16st 13lb.
"People love the thud of punches and there will be a knockout," said Joshua.
"People are saying I'm the favourite but I don't see it like that. I take him as a real challenger. I've got to stay calm, wait for him to fatigue and then unload."
Joshua has finished all 17 of his pro fights early.
Molina is widely expected to be merely a stepping stone for Joshua, with a match against former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko pencilled in for next April.
The Texan, 34, lost his first fight as a pro in 2007 but has been beaten only twice in 27 bouts since. (bbc.co.uk)
