Oleksandr Usyk dismissed suggestions he weighed in up to two stone lighter than expected for his rematch with Anthony Joshua.
Usyk and Joshua will square off in the ring for the second time tomorrow night at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia, with the Ukrainian looking for another victory over his rival. Much was made of the size difference between the pair in the opening meeting, but Usyk made light work of Joshua by dominating the fight.
However many people around Usyk claimed the Ukrainian had put on weight while fans believed the champion looked much bigger in training. Despite many expecting Usyk to come in significantly heavier, Usyk tipped the scales at the same 221lb weight as for the first fight which saw him crowned champion.
