On his snapchat he posted a picture of a weighing scale which weighed him at 110.8kg which is about 244lbs. That’s a 10lb drop since the Takam fight and brings him back to the weight he fought Breazale at, a fight where I thought he paced himself quite well I wonder how low they will go because he’s 244 already, after Xmas where I’m assuming he won’t have trained as hard and frequent
He's not as naturally big framed as Wlad or as wide. He should be coming in at 235-40 max. His shoulders give it away imo. From shoulders down he explodes with juiced up muscle, like he's pumped up blatantly from gear !
I find it funny how he is going after the WBO now. Wonder why?? . If your not familiar with the ibf and WBO testing compared to the WBC and WBA look it up. Heard a rumour he is going to drop the WBA belt.
He`s already got the WBA/IBF straps and with Wilder demanding a 50/50 cut for a fight (clearly ridiculous) that leaves the WHO belt against the unbeaten Parker. You can put your conspiracy theory to bed.
This. 235-240 is a much better weight range for Joshua than 245-254. At 245+ Joshua has no head movement, stamina, struggles to keep his hands up, and poor handspeed. Against Takam after only throwing a few combos he was sucking wind with his hands down. Joshua actually has decent handspeed and telegraphs his punches less when he's lighter.

Joshua knows if he can't get Parker out of there he will need enough cardio to get through the rounds and outwork Parker. He won't be able to do that carrying beach muscles.
