Anthony Joshua is out for revenge as he seeks to become a three-time heavyweight world champion in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk in their highly-anticipated rematch - billed as 'Rage on the Red Sea'. AJ, who is determined to win back his IBF, WBA and WBO straps, will have to switch things up drastically from last September if he is to reign supreme after he was totally outclassed by the slick southpaw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
There have been plenty of changes in the Brit's corner with legendary trainer Robert Garcia drafted in to replace Rob McCracken following last year's unconvincing setback. There is hope the 47-year-old's experience can help Joshua secure the victory he so badly desires.
Usyk was largely expected to weigh in significantly heavier than the first fight (221.25lb) before seemingly duping Joshua when he tipped the scales to 221.6lb on Friday - the challenger has bulked up 4.5lb to 244.5lb.
None of that matters to Joshua though as he looks to inflict the first defeat of the former undisputed cruiserweight champion's career.
"I'll be honest, all of this stuff doesn't matter, it's just about the fight. Real talk," Joshua said.
"All of this stuff, weight, face-off, none of it matters to me. Just looking forward to the fight."
The Watford-born star is under significant pressure to deliver after being tipped for retirement if he fails to come up trumps in the Middle East.
Usyk versus Joshua 2 is scheduled to start at 10:54pm and 12:54am in Saudi Arabia, which is two hours ahead of the UK.
