Promoter Hearn showed AJ where he will warm up in Spurs' home dressing area and how the boxers will do their ring walks.

On Instagram Live, he said: "Thought that I'd just come along, just to get your a little excited about what's going down Saturday night."

"The world, the unified heavyweight championship, AJ versus Usyk, here in the incredible Tottenham stadium."

Hearn went into Spurs' home dressing area, where players shirts are still hanging up.

He said, "In here the final preparations are made before it all unfolds in front of your eyes on Saturday.

"Make the walk, squeaky-bum time right now. 70,000 people are waiting. Incredible scenes

Joshua sold out Wembley Stadium's 90,000-plus capacity and Cardiff's Principality's 80,000 capacity.

He was scheduled to make his debut at Spurs' new venue last summer against Kubrat Plev, 40, but the coronavirus pandemic prevented him from doing so.

He beat Pulev instead in December in front of only 1,000 people at Wembley Arena, his last fight.

AJ, who is now 45, has sold-out capacity back and he wants another tear-up for all the ages after his 2017 classic with Wladimir Klotschko.

Joshua, 31, stated that it was a great time and a great fight. Is that enough? Perhaps. Let's wait and see if Usyk is willing to take that route.

"Let's find out if he can make me go through some adversity, and if I can make him go through some adversity.

"As you can see with the Ruiz fight I kept going up, even though it was hard.

"I will always stand up and fight. You'll always find entertainment in my nights."
