WBC light heavyweight (175 pounds) king Jean Pascal of Canada, weighed in at 174.10 pounds, compared to 174.6 for 45-year-old former world champion, Bernard Hopkins, who will attempt to dethrone Pascal in Saturday night's Showtime televised bout from the Pepsi Colesium in Quebec City, Canada.
The 28-year-year-old Pascal (26-1, 16 knockouts) will try to prevent Hopkins (51-5-1, 32 KOs), of Philadelphia, from becoming the eldest man to win a championship.
Promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, Hopkins is attempting to become the oldest fighter in the history of the sport to win a significant world title -- 38 days older than when a 45-year-old George Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer in the 10th round on November 5, 1994 to become the eldest man to win a heavyweight crown.
