The rematch for Saturday is all set!
WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and former champ Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) stepped onto the scale on Friday in Saudi Arabia ahead of tomorrow’s matchup. It’s boxing so there is no limit at heavyweight, thus the only intrigue was their respective weights compared to the first fight. Usyk came in at 221.5 lbs, only a few ounces heavier than last year’s showdown in London, whereas Joshua was 244.5 lbs, which is 4.5 lbs more than the first bout.
