Vitali Klitschko, who will step into the ring on Saturday after nearly four years absence, weighed in three kilograms less than WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter on Friday.

The 37-year-old former champion from the Ukraine - dubbed "Dr Iron Fist" by virtue of his doctorate in sport science - weighed in here at 112 kgs, while Peter from Nigeria tipped the scales at 115kgs.

Peter, dubbed the "Nigerian Nightmare" with a record of 30 wins, 1 defeat and 23 knockouts, will be defending the title he won against Russia's Oleg Maskaev on March 8 and starts as favourite.
