Britain's Anthony Joshua weighed in 23lbs heavier than champion Oleksandr Usyk for Saturday's heavyweight world title rematch in Saudi Arabia. Ukrainian Usyk was tipped to come in at a career-heaviest weight, but just about matched the previous fight by weighing in at 15st 11lbs (100.5kg). Joshua, 32, came in at 17st 6lbs (110.9kg) with neither man showing any sign of nerves in the final face-off.
