Anthony Joshua returns to action tomorrow night. He is now all set to defend his heavyweight throne against undisputed cruiserweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk. This could turn out to be Joshua’s toughest challenge to date; the Ukrainian champion is on top of his game and is an extremely unconventional heavyweight.
Both fighters weighed in today. The two-time unified heavyweight champion checked in at one of his lightest weights – 240 lbs. On the other hand, Oleksandr will walk into that ring at 221 lbs, his heaviest weight yet.
