Daniel Lapin and Alexander Usyk

Heavyweight title fight of Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) and Alexander Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) is scheduled for September 25 in London. Judging by the photos published on the Internet, it can be assumed that the Ukrainian from the lower weight category will go out to fight AJ a little heavier than in his last fight against Dereck Chisora.

In May Usyk released a video in which he boasts a weight of 105 kg (232 pounds), which is 14 pounds more than in his fight against Chisora.
