Jarrell Miller shoved Daniel Dubois after weighing in almost 100lb heavier than his rival.
Miller, who is continuing his comeback from a drugs ban having tested positive for banned substances before his ill-fated fight with Anthony Joshua, has brought his trash-talking personality to Saudi Arabia this week. He takes on Dubois who is looking to bounce back from his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in August.
And Miller scaled a staggering 333lb at the weigh-in on Friday before Dubois scaled 239lb. The pair then faced off with Miller shoving his opponent, forcing security to step in and keep the rivals apart. "I'm going to walk him down and beat him up," said Miller. "He's got a brain the size of a shrimp; we're going to glaze him, grill him and broil him, either way he's getting cooked."

I'm not worried about his weight, this is [sic] Africa and we slaughter lambs out here." His promoter Frank Warren added: "To me it's a really, really intriguing fight, a 50/50 fight on paper. I think our man wins it but one thing's for sure, you won't be able to take your eyes off it.
"He's going to be hunting him down and looking to land those bombs. Both of them have to prove a point, the winner goes up and the loser, where does he go? Everything is on the line." Dubois and Miller will clash on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's meeting with Otto Wallin.

Joshua weighed in at 251lb, 13lb heavier than his Swedish rival. And Joshua said: "I'm happy, I'm jovial. This is the best fight card in history and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world. If my prayers are answered I'll get the win. I'm making sure it's not just prayer, I'm following it up with actions."
Wallin added: "It's been a lot of work but it's all part of it; we have to promote the show and promote the fight. I'm just happy it's finally here. I beat him by being myself, I'm a smart fighter, I'm a southpaw and I've trained for this moment for a very long time. I'm very much ready for it. Tomorrow there is going to be a new king and he's from Sweden."
