  2. Will Dubois come in lighter?published at 18:47 British Summer Time 20 September

    It will be interesting to see what both men weigh in at.

    Dubois has been looking fairly lean, but looks can be deceiving.

    Joshua tipped the scales at 18st for the Ngannou win, just three pounds lighter than his career heaviest.

    Regardless of the weight, what we do know is that both men hit incredibly hard. Hardly anyone I’ve spoken to this week is predicting a points decision.

  3. 'I want to create history'published at 18:46 British Summer Time 20 September

    Dubois and Joshua were both full of confidence during Thursday's news conference.

    Joshua insisted he was in "peak condition" physically and mentally.

    Dubois stressed the need to retain the world title and said he "wants the biggest challenges and to create history".

    Remarkable knowledge, Kal.

    I can't imagine that Bieber managed to lay a glove on him.

    This open top tour bus stopped in traffic to the left of the stage as Warrington and Cacace took to the scales.

    Just one couple sat on the bus. I will guess they may have been a little confused to see a rowdy crowd cheering two men topless men.

    Hutchinson and his entourage got on the same tube as me from Wembley Park.

    Watching a dozen or so of the Scotsmen bicker over whether they should change at Baker Street or not was quite amusing.

    Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson were two of the most vocal at yesterday's news conference.

    Hutchinson suggested that his opponent was in a bad mood and struggling with his weight cut.

    Well neither of them seem to have had any issues with both weighing 12st 6lbs for their WBO interim light-heavyweight contest.

    Cacace and Warrington's exchanges have been refreshingly civil all week and there was no change there.

    There was certainly a lot of talking but they embraced at the end.

    Both fighters look relaxed, focused, happy to be here. This has the potential to be one heck of a fight.

    The pigeons aren’t my only concern.

    There’s no toilet and this fountain isn’t helping matters.

    Northern Ireland's Anthony Cacace won't be defending his IBF super-featherweight title against Leeds' Josh Warrington, who is stepping up a division to try and get his career back on track after two successive defeats.

    Warrington has spoken about his regret at not moving up in weight earlier in his career.

    Both Cacace and Warrington tip the scales at 9st 3lbs.

    Warrington with his Leeds scarf wrapped around his neck and Cacace with his baseball cap on backwards are having a bit of a chat and the pair, who have been really friendly all week, just seem to have taken it up a notch.

    They shake hands as they part ways but there energy has just gone up a notch.

    It may all look fantastic, but I am currently stood on a balcony and hoping my laptop doesn’t fall on a group of lads below me.

    The British press are also pulling their hair out trying to find free WiFi so reports can be filed. Right now I’m relying on a very temperamental 4g signal.

    Anyone live in very close proximity willing to share their router deets?
