Boxing: Anthony Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko Cleared for Title Tilt

On Saturday, Anthony Joshua will put his IBF heavyweight title on the line against Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in London, England, in what is the biggest heavyweight match in boxing in over a decade. As expected, both monoliths of the ring weighed in properly at Friday’s official weigh-ins, setting the stage for the showdown.

In what seemed a bit odd considering how long he has been the world champion. Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) stepped onto the scale first. The surefire future Hall of Famer from Ukraine looked like he was in his physical prime and came in at 240.
