Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko will hit the scales before their title fight in what will surely be a hostile atmosphere at Wembley Stadium.

The best heavyweight of the past decade will take on the best fighter in the United Kingdom in what seems like the biggest fight in years. Anthony Joshua taking on Wladimir Klitschko has everyone in Europe buzzing, and is also generating significant interest in the United States. So much so that Showtime and HBO are teaming up to broadcast the fight. The last time they did that: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao.

This feels like one of those can’t-miss events, and the atmosphere around this fight is an indicator of that. Even if it plays out like a vintage Klitschko fight, hearing the roar of 90,000 fans will be spectacular.

There won’t be that many people attending the weigh-in, but there will still be a raucous crowd on hand to support the hometown boy Joshua. Below is the official YouTube link to the weigh-in, which will go live at 8:30 am ET:

This weigh-in is pretty significant, namely because this fight was already supposed to happen back in December, but a Klitschko injury delayed it until now. At his age, and condition, going through a weight cut might be a setback for Klitschko. If he steps on the scale and is above the heavyweight limit, fans will grow extremely restless. However, fighters usually end up weighing well above the weight they had to cut down to on fight day.

If you thought the atmosphere is electric when Joshua won Olympic gold in his home country, this fight will be that times 10. He’s the favorite to defend his title, but Klitschko should never be ruled out of a fight, given his past experience. This bout will only lead to bigger, and better, opportunities for the winner.
