According to media report, Anthony Joshua has
spoken ahead of his IBF title defence against Dominic Breazeale, saying he
wants to 'break him mentally' at Friday's weigh in.
American Breazeale weighed at 255lbs - one stone heavier than Joshua - before the pair went nose to nose and exchanged words in anticipation of Saturday's showdown.
While the pair traded words in Covent Garden,
there was a mutual respect between them which offers hope that the fight will
be an entertaining one.
After stepping off the scales, Joshua looked as composed as ever as he gave his thoughts on how he was feeling ahead of the fight.
'I just want to relax and enjoy myself, I want
to control fights,' he said.
'Normally I'm doing the stalking but this time I
can go on the back foot and show off my boxing skills.
'I want to break him mentally.'
In response to Joshua, 30-year-old Breazeale was
also short and sweet in his comments - but said that he would knock his
opponent out.
'I expected the bad reception, it's Anthony's
home town.
'From the opening round there will be big
punches and I will knock out Anthony Joshua.
'That's what I came here to do.'
