Oleksandr Usyk reveals he is 'a bit heavier' for his crunch rematch with Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia this weekend... as the unified heavyweight champion bids to win for the people of Ukraine amid their ongoing war with Russia

Oleksandr Usyk has revealed that he is heavier heading into his crunch rematch with Anthony Joshua than he was in the first fight.

The pair will go toe-to-toe for the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titles in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

Usyk produced a shock last September as he defeated Joshua with a clear unanimous decision win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
