Anthony Joshua was several pounds lighter than Gary Cornish at the weigh-in for Saturday's Commonwealth heavyweight title bout.

Live Fight Night

The clash between the unbeaten pair tops the bill at The O2 - live on Sky Sports - and the Scot (21-0-KO12) has bulked up by six pounds since his last bout to tip the scales at 18st 4lbs, with Joshua at 17st 11lbs 3oz just half a pound heavier than for May's victory over Kevin Johnson.

Joshua (13-0-KO13), who also gives away an inch in height, told Sky Sports: "I feel alright. You can never get too used to it [a weigh-in]. New people come out every time and there's adrenalin pumping. You never get used to the nerves. We're one day from fight day and you'll never get used to it.

He's the tallest I've faced and he definitely brings something different. He has power, more rotational power. I'm going to have to adjust to that.

"He's the tallest I've faced and he definitely brings something different. He has power, more rotational power. I'm going to have to adjust to that and be slipping and sliding on my way in a bit like Mike Tyson used to.

"I'm locked up in the gym most of the time getting on with business. It's not just me [who is revitalising the division]. There are a lot of great heavyweights out there. I'm working hard for sure and as long as I'm contributing to that journey I'll be pushing and pushing.

"Why wouldn't you tune in? It's heavyweight boxing live in The O2 - if you haven't got tickets then make sure you tune in. It's a big night."

Many have suggested Cornish will be stopped early - but the 6ft 9in man from Inverness welcomed the lack of expectation.

He said: "We just do what we do, train hard and do what we do. It lets me concentrate on the gym. There's no pressure on me. Everyone's already got me beaten so I can just relax and do my thing.

I'm bigger than him. I'm heavier than him. So why should I be afraid of him?

"I think if I fought the people he fought I'd have done the same things he's done. I'm bigger than him. I'm heavier than him. So why should I be afraid of him?

"All these people that do lots of talking - I just let them get on with it. It doesn't bother me."

The title clash is just one of a host of huge fights on the night with Joshua's bitter rival Dillian Whyte looking to upstage him ahead of their scheduled British title fight in December.

Whyte faces former world cruiserweight title challenger Brian Minto, who weighed in at 15st 2lbs with the Londoner 17st 11lbs 1oz.
