Romanian Razvan Cojanu will have the height, and weight advantage over WBO World Heavyweight champion Joseph Parker tomorrow night.

Cojanu, who stands at 6'7" officially weighed in at 124.6kgs on Friday night, while Parker hit the scales at 111.5kgs. 

Parkers clocked in just 400 grams lighter than his fight against Andy Ruiz.

Despite giving up the weight and height advantage, Parker isn't fazed by Cojanu.

"He is heavy and he will try impose his figure on me," said Parker. 

"My goal is to stick to the game plan I have and it will be about speed, angles and movement." 

The fight at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau will be the first time Parker defends his WBO belt. 

Parker will be hoping a good crowd shows up as he will look to feed off the home energy in his last fight in New Zealand "for a long time".

"I hope to put on a great event to say goodbye to New Zealand." 

"I will use the atmosphere of the crowd and use that energy.

"We love fighting in New Zealand and I'm going to make it a good one."
