A packed card
They win, and it’s on.
Former heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, who reportedly signed a contract to fight in March, weighed in for their respective bouts tomorrow in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua tipped the scales at 251 pounds. Confident contender Otto Wallin weighed 238. Joshua is a 4-1 favorite. He looked relaxed and ready.
The spidery Wilder, with his hands already taped up, weighed 213. Former WBO heavyweight Joseph Parker will have a 32-pound weight advantage over Wilder.
Both fighters predicted knockout victories. Parker trained Andy Lee said he wants his charge to “take it to Wilder.” Don’t blink.
