Kell Brook boasts a slender weight advantage over Gennady Golovkin ahead of tomorrow's world middleweight title clash.

The pair weighed in this afternoon with Brook tipping the scales just inside the middleweight limit at 158.4lbs.

Golovkin was marginally lighter at 158.9lbs amidst rumours that the WBA Super, WBC and IBF has been feeling unwell in the build up to fight night.

Brook is jumping up two weight divisions to take on the Kazakh and was in buoyant mood as he prepares for the biggest fight of his life.

The Sheffield fighter may not be the bookies favourite but he is adamant he will have his arm raised and end Golovkin's unbeaten record at London's O2 Arena.

"I looked into his eyes and I could see fear. He knows he's in a real fight on Saturday night and it can't come quick enough," Brook told Sky Sports.

"I'm ready to fuel up, get in there and let some rocket launchers go. We've done everything we could have done in training and I've peaked at the right time.

"It's about getting some meals in me now, being calm, cool and collected," he added.
