Anthony Joshua remains the underdog after facing off with Oleksandr Usyk in the final press conference ahead of their rematch on Saturday night.

Joshua will bid to regain the world titles he lost to Usyk when the two men fought in London last year.

However, the bookmakers are not backing the British ace to become a three-time world champion in Saudi Arabia.

Having admitted the fight is a ‘must-win’ situation for him at today’s press conference, William Hill priced ‘AJ’ as a 13/8 underdog.

“That's it, [I] must win,” Joshua told reporters. “I like the pressure.”

“I want to compete. I'm looking forward to it. I can't really say much else. You've got to have a competitive spirit. I'm looking forward to it.”

Usyk, who outclassed Joshua to win the titles, is considered a 4/7 favourite and is confident or successfully retaining his crowns.

“We were born to compete for life, for belts, for everything,” said the Ukrainian.

“The one who does not compete does not live.”
