The Light Blues men's crew, who include four Americans and an Austrian, are 11.8kg (26lb) heavier than their rivals at 706kg (1,556lb).

Cambridge will attempt to end a three-year winless streak in the race, which will be broadcast live on the BBC.

Their women's crew weighed in heaviest for the fourth year in a row as they try to avenge last year's defeat.
