      by

      Usyk outpointed Joshua last time outCredit: Reuters
      Joshua came in 4lbs heavier than he did for their first fight, with Usyk around the same weight as last time, at 15st 11lbs.
      The challenger Joshua said: “I’ll be honest, all of this stuff doesn’t matter, it’s just about the fight. Real talk.
      “All of this stuff, weight, face-off, none of it matters to me. Just looking forward to the fight.”
      Usyk – the former 14st 4lbs undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world – stayed bang-on his 221lbs – 15st 11lbs – mark from the first unanimous points win.

      And he stripped his top off – but left on his trousers and pants – to make 244lbs on Friday afternoon in Jeddah, before staring down his 13lbs lighter foe.

      Usyk’s weight
      So Oleksandr Usyk didn’t put on the pounds after all…
      Great bit of gamesmanship there from the champ.
      He’s pretty much the same weight as the first fight.

      Going for speed…
      Joshua weighs in
      110.9kgs for Anthony Joshua!
      That’s 17st 6lbs for AJ. Only 4lbs more than last time.
      Usyk makes his walk

      Holyfield previews the big one
      Boxing legend Evander Holyfield has spelled out what Antony Joshua needs to do to defeat Oleksandr Usyk.
      Holyfield told Sky Sports: “He [Joshua] has to fight like a big guy.
      “He can’t sit there and play tag with this guy. He’s got to hit him with big shots.
      “It’s like having a little brother, when you try to grab him if you don’t keep up he moves too much, you have got to grab him and put all that weight on him.”

      Last time out
      Usyk tipped the scales at 15st 8lbs for their first fight one year ago.
      But this time he could be nearly a whole stone heavier with the Ukrainian ace looking to have bulked up considerably.
      AJ was 17st 2lbs last time, and has been looking even trimmer in recent pictures.

      Deontay WIlder predicts
      Wilder, who makes his big return to the ring on October 15, has made his prediction for tomorrow night.
      Wilder, 36, told FightHype: “I’m going with Usyk in this fight. I’ve said that after that fight and I’m sticking with my word on this one.
      “Usyk just looks more confident than ever now and when you look at Joshua he just looks like a different man.”

      Joshua’s new trainer on Usyk
      Anthony Joshua’s new trainer is the first to admit his man’s preparation has been far from perfect.
      No-nonsense Robert Garcia replaced Team GB mastermind Robert McCracken for AJ’s must-win world heavyweight title rematch against Oleksandr Usyk tomorrow night.
      Garcia said: “The whole boxing world knows he can’t outbox Usyk. So we have to put smart pressure on him.
      “Usyk is a very talented fighter, his combinations, he has a great jab, a great straight-right hand, right hands to the body, stuff like that.
      “Instead of training to box, we have to train for a fight going forward. But we are also not going in to become a brawler, we have to do it smart.”

      This time around, with Usyk going in as the champ there is a straight 50/50 split – so it is at least £32.5m each BEFORE PPV buys.

      To which a laughing AJ said: “Yeah I can bring him out of retirement, 100 per cent.
      “I think he’ll bring himself out of retirement, you hear what I’m saying? I think he’ll bring himself out of retirement, s***…”

      Usyk will bag the same £33.2m pay packet as the challenger when the pair clash in Jeddah.
      And the victor is in line for a bonus based on the pay-per-view buys on Sky Sports in the UK and on DAZN around the world.

      Tale of the tape
      How the fighters compare ahead of tomorrow night’s big one.
      Joshua, 32, was bettered over 12 rounds but has since changed trainers and vowed to come in with an all-new style.
      Whereas Usyk, 35, appears to have bulked up in preparation for the rematch on Saturday in Saudi Arabia.

      Weigh to go!
      Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk weigh in TODAY for their HUGE, huge rematch tomorrow night in Saudi Arabi.
      Last time out, in September 2021, there was over a STONE of difference between the pair with AJ weighing in at 17st 2bs to Usyk’s 15st 8lbs.
      But this time Usyk could weigh over 16st, with the Ukrainian hero looking to have bulked up considerably.
      According to trainer Dave Coldwell, who coached Tony Bellew against the heavyweight champion, this is the wrong approach to take.
      Coldwell said: “From an Usyk point of view, I get that he is going to be more aggressive and look to land bigger shots but with his mobility and speed being his two greatest assets they will take a hit.
      “It’s going to slow him down, if you’re losing speed, you’re giving more options to be hit and not only that I believe that AJ really needs to focus on going to Usyk’s body to take away his legs.”
