82.7 kg

Explanation:

the mass of the boxer remains unchanged, this is because mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object irrespective of its location and the gravitational force acting at its location. this means mass is independent of the gravitational acceleration hence it remains the same 82.7 kg. its unit is in kilograms (Kg).
