What's the view from the other side?
According to his team, Oleksandr Usyk is 'very confident' of causing an upset against Anthony Joshua on Saturday evening.
The Ukrainian boasts an unblemished record of 18-0 as a professional with 13 wins by way of knockout.
His promoter told MyBettingSites: "Oleksandr is very confident in his victory over AJ and how he will beat him - so therefore he easily agreed for the second bout because his mindset will be even more favorable after he wins the first.
"There were no other options for Oleksandr after he became the undisputed champion and defended against Tony Bellew.
"There was nothing else to prove at cruiserweight and staying there would for sure be a stagnation or even a step back.
"Now Alex has a huge motivation to get up at 5am every day and work as hard as he can for he has an objective in front of him.
"After just two bouts at heavyweight, Usyk signed the contract for a multiple belt showdown with the king of the heavyweights."
25th Sep. 2021, 15:52
'I cannot see this fight going the distance'
Carl Froch insists Anthony Joshua's fight with Oleksandr Usyk tonight will not go the distance.
"I cannot see this fight going the distance. I think AJ backs Usyk up, bullies him, tires him out and then stops him," Froch said via Sky Sports.
"I don't think AJ can catch him early, because Usyk will be very sharp with those southpaw skills. AJ needs to wear him down, with that added weight and size, and then he can really take over.
"I believe AJ will smash him. He'll either knock him out with one punch later on or force a stoppage.
"If AJ goes in there and knocks out Usyk, who is a ridiculously good fighter, then he really needs to be respected."

"I don't think about belts or champions. All I think about is how to win each fight.
"I want a massive KO. A massive, massive knockout."

'I'd much prefer to beat Joshua up'
Tyson Fury wants Anthony Joshua to beat Oleksandr Usyk in their heavyweight title fight tonight and set up an all-British clash next spring.
“I watch all the boxing fights, every single one that happens I watch so of course I’m going to watch a heavyweight championship fight, for sure," Fury told The Independent.
“Do I want him to win? Definitely. Because it doesn’t make much sense in me beating Usyk up.
"I’d much prefer to beat Joshua up, it’s a bigger fight and people want to see it more."
24th Sep. 2021, 15:00
Joshua and Usyk weigh in
Anthony Joshua will weigh over a stone heavier than Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.
Joshua tipped the scales at 17st 2lbs (2401lbs), while Usyk weighed in at a career highest of of 15st 8lbs (221lbs), leaving a 19lbs difference between them.
And former British boxer Johnny Nelson believes his size could prove to be the decisive factor on the night.
He told The Daily Mail: "Joshua possesses the edge at this weight. He has the power and the size but is athletic with it. He will be stronger and possesses the bigger punch and knows Usyk will have to come in close at some stage.
"Standing next to Usyk this week he looked heavier up top, almost square in the body, but skinny in his legs which would suggest he wants to stay mobile. Usyk will try to get inside, ride Joshua's shots then counter.
"Joshua must pace himself. If he has trained in the gym to throw 300 punches per round he needs to stick to that. We saw how Bellew ran out of gas against Usyk midway through their fight despite being ahead and it was his undoing.
"Joshua will need that stamina at the end of the fight as Usyk is patient, he likes to start steady then slowly builds up his pace."

Joshua inks new deal with Matchroom
Anthony Joshua has penned a new 'career-long' contract with Matchroom Sports, promoter Eddie Hearn revealed.
'AJ' has decided to renew his exclusive deal with Matchroom, which was set to expire following this weekend's fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
Hearn confirmed the news on social media and added boxing fans can look forward to an 'amazing' fight on Saturday night.
He said: “When AJ and I met in the Matchroom HQ 8 years ago, we had a vision and a dream that we shared together.
“There is something quite special about sharing a journey together from the professional debut to the day the gloves are hung up, but it takes a huge amount of belief and an unwavering loyalty.
“Over those 8 years, AJ has been the face of British boxing, inspiring a new generation and audience to the sport we love.
“This is the fourth and final promotional agreement we have signed together, and I am honoured that AJ has confirmed his future with Matchroom.
“Just like we did from the debut, myself and the great team at Matchroom will continue to work relentlessly for Anthony in the many chapters that remain.
“I also want to thank Frank Smith and the whole team at Matchroom along with Freddie Cunningham and 258 who we have had a seamless partnership with.
“Here is to an amazing night this Saturday and many more for us all to savour.”
21st Sep. 2021, 09:24
An uneasy alliance
Dillian Whyte, 33, expects Anthony Joshua will breeze past Oleksandr Usyk to set up an all-British derby with Tyson Fury.
Having watched Usyk struggle against Derek Chisora in December at Wembley Arena, Whyte said: "I think it's a great fight, but in my personal opinion, I think Joshua will stop him in the first five, six, or seven rounds.
"Usyk will start fast, and Joshua will be a bit cagey because he’s a southpaw, he’s lighter, and Joshua can also sometimes lack confidence in fights.
“He can get caught up in, ‘Oh, he’s a good boxer, the guy's this, the guy's that,’ and he's still in this learning period where he's learning things and trying stuff out as well.
"Hopefully, he goes back to the old him and starts pressing Usyk and being the bigger, stronger guy and starts backing him up and starts hitting him with stuff early. I think he can get the job done early."
