Nicolai Valuev and David Haye weigh in. Valuev came in at 315, while Haye came in at 218. Valuev has tended to look his best when he weighs in around 320, but usually he leaves his clothes on for the weigh in, so he's probably around his ideal weight.
Three days away! Who's pumped?
From a press release:
A relaxed Holyfield also happily answered questions that were not related to boxing. A curious reporter wanted to know whether he really lived in a house with more than 100 rooms. "Yes, that is true," Holyfield said. "I have been blessed and I am very thankful for my lifestyle. I have worked very hard for it and that is what I will do on Saturday night: Work hard to win the title."
Asked about how many rooms his house in Russia has, Valuev smiled and answered. "My new house is not finished yet. These kinds of things take a little longer in Russia."
Nikolai Valuev celebrates his unanimous decision win over John Ruiz yesterday in Berlin to capture the vacant WBA heavyweight title. Scores were 114-113, 116-113, and 116-111. (AFP/DDP/Michael Gottschalk)
