The next stage of Anthony Joshua's career starts on Saturday night when he takes on America's Jermaine Franklin, but on Friday he will be weighed in.
Joshua is training with a new setup headed up by Derrick James, so Friday will be the chance to see if the former champion's frame has been refined ahead of his comeback.
A win for Joshua might set him back on the track to become a three-time title-winner, especially given the current impasse in negotiations between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Joshua vs. Franklin and the coming weigh-in.
