Anthony Joshua will go in search of revenge in Suadi Arabia tonight.

‌

The Englishman lost his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts to Oleksandr Usyk the last time the pair met at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September.

‌

Usyk was a class act on the night and almost stopped AJ, with many predicting a similar lesson in this renewal.

The Ukrainian champion had been expected to weigh-in much heavier than he did for last year's fight, but he only tipped the scales half a pound heavier on Friday.

Meanwhile, AJ has weighed in at 17st, 6lbs and 8oz - up from 17st 2lbs (240lbs) from last year's fight.
