Anthony Joshua weighed the same as his 2017 epic with Wladimir Klitschko as the former heavyweight champion bids to fend off Robert Helenius.
AJ takes on the late replacement Finn and will hope to emulate his victory over the Ukrainian master in his Wembley coming-out show.
Anthony Joshua scales his Klitschko weight
Joshua stopped Klitschko late in a back-and-forth tussle after almost being taken out in the sixth round.
However, a similar result for Joshua won’t happen this time, as Deontay Wilder smashed Helenius in less than a round last October.
As he bids to keep his career alive, Joshua weighs bang on 250 pounds. Helenius came in slightly lighter at 249.4 lbs.
