Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua Rematch, Undercard Weigh-In Results From Jeddah

In the end, turns out quite a few, especially me, were suckered into weight gain talk.

If anything, all this goes to show is Usyk is actually a huge man, despite “size difference” dominating discourse before the first one

Usyk is a big man

People talk about him being a cruiserweight but actually he was fighting in the World Series of boxing over a decade ago before he was professional, weighing around 215lbs, only 5 less than now. It’s quite clear he was boiling down to cruiserweight.

He’s obviously not a big heavyweight compared to fighters today, but he’s about 6’3" and a very solid 220lbs.

Didn’t Buffer announce Joshua’s weight at 254.5?

no big deal, but I revisited this thread to double check.

Glad that someone else caught that too. I was wondering if Buffer was having a senile moment or if Joshua actually did weigh 254.5 lbs. I'm guessing Buffer just made a mistake.
