What To Make of Anthony Joshua’s Weigh In
‘AJ’ tipping the scales at a ready 244-pounds may come as a shock to some people. On the eye it looks like Joshua is a lot trimmer and a bit lighter, but in fact he has weighed in at four-pounds heavier than the first fight with Usyk in September.
Does this mean Joshua is going to take a more front foot approach to the fight? This may well indicate that Joshua is going for broke this time around and is going to try and stop Usyk before letting the fight get into the later rounds.
Only time will tell what Joshua’s approach is in the fight and all will be revealed tomorrow night when the first bell rings at the Jeddah Super Dome!
What to Make of Oleksandr Usyk’s Weigh In
Another slight shock to boxing fans that Oleksandr Usyk has weighed in at almost the exact same weight as the first Joshua clash from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September.
The 35-year-old tipped the scales at 221.5-pounds, which is just half a pound heavier than the first fight between the pair.
What does this mean for Usyk and what effect will this have on his game plan for Saturday night? Well, we think Usyk will try and fight a similar fight to the first fight with ‘AJ’.
Usyk won impressively last time out, so may see no reason of needing to change his tactics. He also looked like he was beginning to hurt Joshua in the later rounds, so perhaps believes this time around that if he can get to Joshua a bit earlier, the stoppage may well come.
The fight is on with both men weighing in and facing off ahead of Saturday’s super-fight for the WBO, IBF and WBA-Super world heavyweight titles.
It’s ON!
