"There shouldn't be problems with the weight because they are so motivated."
Promoter Ben Shalom has revealed Amir Khan and Kell Brook will be fined a six-figure fee for each pound they weigh above the agreed limit.
The two arch-rivals will finally collide at the AO Arena in Manchester next year at 149lbs.
"They are both taking the weight seriously," Shalom told Sky Sports.
"There shouldn't be problems with the weight because they are so motivated.
"Despite the huge financial penalties, we expect both fighters to come prepared."

Shalom also updated fans on the conditioning of both Khan and Brook, claiming the latter is more 'motivated' than ever.
"I am hearing that Amir is in amazing shape and is training really well with Terence Crawford's team," Shalom said.
"We are going to have to see the very best of Brook.
"I spoke to Brook's nutritionist who can't believe the progress they are making. They say Brook hasn't been this motivated since his fight with Errol Spence Jr.
"This means everything to Brook. They are seeing a different side to him.
"We will see the best of both guys. They are taking it extremely seriously - they will train on Christmas Day!"
