Narrow margins as Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois weigh in | Boxing News


ANTHONY Joshua and Daniel Dubois remain difficult to split in every sense, as the pair weighed in barely four pounds apart in Trafalgar Square, London. 

After the weigh-in, both men had a few words to say, starting with the champion.

“I’m ready to get in the ring and fight now; let’s go,” said Dubois, dismissing the tense faceoff as having no bearing on the fight itself.

“We’ve been working hard, man. A lot of work has gone into this. The talking is done.”

And a final prediction from ‘DDD’: “A win, by any means necessary.”

Anthony Joshua was in good form when thanking the weigh-in attendees for supporting him through thick and thin.

“If I can ask you for one favour, go home and make a prayer for me that I will become three-time heavyweight champion of the world,” said the 34-year-old. “I look at myself as a gladiator who is stepping into the ring to perform for the people who love blood, guts and glory. So I’m pumped and ready to perform for the people.”
