Anthony Joshua weighs in 19 pounds heavier than opponent Oleksandr Usyk ahead of title defence
FirstpostBritain’s Joshua, 31, tipped the scales at 240 pounds, with the Ukrainian challenger coming in at a career-high 221.25 pounds. London: Anthony Joshua weighed in 19 pounds heavier than Oleksandr Usyk ahead of the defence of his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles in London on Saturday. Each fighter then turned to face the assembled media and a small crowd that had gathered at London’s O2 Arena, taking turns to flex their muscles, Joshua pointing to Usyk, who then reciprocated. As well as his weight advantage, Joshua will have the edge in height and reach and is a favourite with bookmakers, but Usyk’s movement and overall technical skillset from an awkward southpaw stance have led many seasoned observers to predict a close contest.
