New Zealand hevayweight Joseph Parker is relishing “fighting like a small man” as he looks to get past massive Russian Alexander Dimitrenko to keep his world title dream alive.

The size of the assignment in front of Parker was there for all to see on Friday when the official weigh-in was held at the Manukau Events Centre, the venue for Saturday night’s fight.

Parker will give away over 15 pounds to Dimitrenko. Parker tipped the scales 240.3 while Dimitrenko weighed 253.8
