We have a fight after the weigh-in for Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois went into the books on Friday evening.
The two British stars took to the scales in London’s iconic Trafalgar Square just over 24 hours out from a fight which will determine who is the IBF heavyweight champion of the world.
A record boxing crowd of more than 96,000 fans will pack Wembley Stadium as Joshua (28-3) challenges current title holder Dubois (21-2) in his bid to join the likes of Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield as a three-time world heavyweight champion.

For Dubois it offers the chance to absolutely cement a reputation that has been significantly repaired with those gutsy and brilliant wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic in his last two outings.
For AJ meanwhile, it is the chance to return to the very top table of heavyweight boxing on the back of four consecutive wins. The last two of those came after he teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison, and both resulted in spectacular wins over Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou.

The 27-year-old Dubois was first on the scales on Friday evening and he came in at 248 ½lbs, around 3lbs heavier than he had been for that brilliant victory over Hrgovic in June.
