    Anthony Joshua weighed in this morning at 240lbs fully clothed that’s probably 237 fully stripped.

    It looks like speed, agility, stamina & power are his goals for the Joseph Parker fight and it spells danger for the Kiwi.

    Finally, he is at his best when he is lighter than usual.

    I think he’ll come in at around 238lbs on fight night which should see him far to fast and accurate for Parker but will also be the template for beating Wilder.

    I believe it when I see it in the weigh-in. Bodybuilders like too much to pose in front of a mirror and admire themselves. Not sure if AJ is ready to make that kind of a sacrifice.

    112.9 kg is 249 lbs.

    In other words - AJ is way heavier than you are saying!!

    It could happen. Even if image was important to Joshua he could come in at -240 and still look like a bodybuilder. Even more ripped and possibly look more impressive than ever. He has the build for it.

    Realistically I would like to see him disregard weight completely as he is a HW. Concentrate on actual attributes (as well as skill obviously) such as strength, speed, stamina and agility and let the weight be what it is naturally.

    People concentrating on the weight are missing the point.

    You see in the video the scale says 112.9 kg.

    That is 249 lb. Look it up, my friend.
