Anthony Joshua says he is "still in the battlefield" and quashed any suggestion of nearing the end of his career as the Briton weighed in heaviest for tomorrow’s IBF Heavyweight title fight against Daniel Dubois.
The two-time unified heavyweight champion takes on Dubois for the IBF belt at Wembley Stadium tomorrow.
34-year-old Joshua tipped the scales at 18 stones during an elaborate weigh-in at Trafalgar Square, with 27-year-old Dubois at a career-heavy 17 stones, 10 pounds.
Joshua says he looks at himself as a gladiator and he is going to step into the arena tomorrow to perform for the people.
The central London landmark was cordoned off for arguably Britain's most extravagant fight week location ever.
Double decker buses and black cabs provided the backdrop, with Nelson's Column towering behind a stage placed between the two iconic fountains.
Greenwich-born Dubois who kept his words to a minimum says he is ready to fight.
Joshua will take on Dubois for the vacant IBF heavyweight title in front of a reported post-war British record crowd of 96,000 at Wembley Stadium this Sunday.
The fight program will start at 3am.
