But Brook, who holds the IBF belt at middleweight, has no concerns about moving up two divisions. Brook scaled in at 176 pounds, while GGG weighed 165 pounds.
Both men were required to weigh in on Wednesday, 31 days before the bout, and could afford to be 10 per cent over the fight weight limit of 160lbs, with Golovkin tipping the scales at 165lbs.
‘I’m going to be so sharp and so powerful on the night.
Kell Brook – “This is the biggest fight in world boxing”.
Jordan should have exciting news about his next fight soon and can’t wait to show the crowd his developed power.
“The experience of being with world class professional boxers, all unique, self-motivated and hardworking was inspiring – I even did a bit of training myself”.
“I think it’s going to come down to the skill and mind in this fight”, he added.
Golovkin is his usual cheerful self, talking about how he’s ready and he wants to fight and make good fights. I’m the best Welterweight in the world and no-one wants me, he’s the best Middleweight in the world and no one wants him.
Golovkin said: “I’m happy because one month before the fight, today is weighting day and today [I am] my flawless weight”.

“I have just two months – in the first month, just power train and my weight is 165”.
