Anthony Joshua has tipped the scales ahead of fighting Alexander Povetkin on Saturday night.

Joshua has weighed in at 17st 8lbs (246lbs) whilst his opponent weighs in at 15st 12lbs (222lbs).

The 28-year-old was a career-heaviest 18st 2lbs against Carlos Takam in 2017. However, he slimmed down for his last bout versus Joseph Parker. He weighed in at 17st 4lbs.

Joshua was a solid 17st 12lbs against Wladimir Klitschko in April 2017.
