British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has weighed in 20lbs lighter than Cameroonian Francis Ngannou ahead of Friday’s ‘Knockout Chaos’ showpiece in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua, who weighed in at 251lbs ahead of his victory over Otto Wallin in December, will take to the ring to face Ngannou.

AJ has put on just over a pound since defeating Wallin, registering 252.4lbs on the scales on Thursday. Ngannou, meanwhile, maintained weight at 272.6lbs, having been 272.2lbs for his showdown with the Gypsy King in October.

The former UFC champion was beaten via split decision when he came up against Fury last year but will be hoping to clinch his boxing victory on Friday night.
