Evander Holyfield will concede a remarkable 43 kg (96lb) to Nikolay Valuev when they meet in their world heavyweight title bout on Saturday.
Holyfield, 46, is 11 years older and nearly 30 cm (12in) shorter than the Russian, who is the sport's heaviest and tallest heavyweight champion.
If he wins, Holyfield will become the oldest heavyweight champion in history, breaking George Foreman's record.
The American will also become the first five-time world heavyweight champion.
