Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua is a clash between the clichés. But AJ will give it his all.

TOMORROW Night, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Uzyk will discover which of the most famous boxing cliches is true for them.

We've all heard it a million times: "A good big 'un always defeats a good small 'un" or "A clever boxer defeats a big puncher."

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium fight is for Joshua's WBA and IBF titles, but it could also be called the Weight Watchers World Heavyweight Championship.

Many weigh-ins are merely a titillating overture until the curtain goes up.

All eyes will be on the scales because what the needle indicates could have a significant impact on the outcome of this David against Goliath battle.

Although Usyk is a master craftsman, he is not yet unbeaten in Ukraine. However, he is rising from the cruiserweights and will face Joshua -- a 17-stone powerhouse.

Usyk will likely have gained weight from his natural 14-t 8lb fighting weight. Many predict that he will reach 16st.

If Usyk doesn't balance his muscles and does not exercise enough, he will lose vitality which will make Brit Joshua's job much easier.

Joshua may be in serious trouble if his nutritionist is able to find the right combination of strength and agility.

Fans are always captivated when great champions of a lower division step out of their comfort zones to take on the big boys.

However, history has proven that size doesn't really matter in Ukraine.

Michael Spinks was the world champion light-heavyweight when he won a controversial points decision over Larry Holmes 36 years ago.

In 2003, Roy Jones Jr. beat John Ruiz to take the WBA title. He then quickly relinquished the title.

Many 12 t 7lb men have attempted, and failed to, to win the highest prize in sports.

These are Tommy Loughran and John Henry Lewis, Gus Lesnevich and Bob Foster, as well as Archie Moore, who tried twice but was defeated by Floyd Patterson, Rocky Marciano, and Archie Moore.

George Carpentier, the Parisian idol, was the first to try it. He challenged Jack Dempsey before 80,000 New Jersey fans on 1921.

Carpentier, who won the Croix de Guerre -- France’s Victoria Cross -- during the First World War, was courageous enough to do so.

He was 17lbs heavier than Dempsey, and was defeated in the fourth round.

However, it was Billy Conn that managed to win defeat in June 1941.

He was quicker than Joe Louis with his quick thought and movement.

He was almost two stone lighter than the 14st-plus champion at the Polo Grounds, as he stood at the end of the 12th.

To achieve one of the most memorable victories in boxing, he just had to dance for the final nine minutes.

He felt a surge of blood in his head. Conn knew the reason, but he decided Louis was ready for him to be taken out.

He was too excited and he took the risk of falling prey to Louis' deadly right-hand bombs.

Conn was unable to enjoy his moment of immortality as he fell asleep on the canvas while it was being counted. . .

Louis was asked by Joe before the fight if Conn was too fast for him. Joe replied in his laconic style: "He can run but he cannot hide."

This is a remark that has been repeated over and over again around the world.

Joshua is fortunate that the same one-liner applies to Usyk.

Joshua is the 2-5 favorite. However, Usyk is a 9-4-priced fighter so there are many good boxing judges who think he's worthy of the titles.

The first cliché will win, I believe. Joshua will tire from being hit, pushed, and shoved around. I can see Joshua getting stopped at the ninth.
