Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk: Tense stare-down at weigh-in before world heavyweight title fight

Anthony Joshua takes on Oleksandr Usyk tonight at Tottenham Hotspur StadiumAnthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk have had an intense stare-down at the final weigh-in before their world heavyweight title fight.Their collision for the IBF, WBA and WBO belts is tonight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

After a lengthy and frosty face-off, they each flexed their muscles and paid tribute to each other's physiques - any suggestion that Joshua would come in lighter to cope with Usyk's speed was refuted by his weight.Joshua told Sky Sports:"I don't really watch my weight. I don't know why there is a big thing about weight. Maybe because we are heavyweights so people look at us at our heaviest."I have been there - I was 18st 2lbs at one stage [for the Carlos Takam fight].

I am nobody in boxing but I have a strong feeling this is how the will turn out. usykaa will move around a lot in the 1st quarter of the fight making anthonyjoshua miss a lot. He will stand his ground a bit from rds 5-8 landing some heavy shot and finally stop AJ from rds 9-12

Really wasn't that tense

sky trying hard to push this fight, due to not many being remotely interested!!

I wouldn’t part with my cash to pay box office to watch this. Tyson Fury fights though is a different matter

AJ is invincible 🥊
