Tottenham Stadium transformed to host Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Uzyk. The pitch was covered and the ring began to take shape

TOTTENHAM'S stadium was transformed in preparation for Anthony Joshua's match with Oleksandr Uzyk on Saturday night.

The Brit will face off against the unbeaten Ukrainian in North London. Prior to the fight, the arena underwent major renovations.

AJ, 31 years old, saw the talks for Tyson Fury's big fight collapse and is now taking on Usyk, No 1.

This is the first time that boxing has taken place at the PS1BILLION arena.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua's Matchroom promoter, took his fans on a tour.

He live-tweeted the event on Instagram, giving his followers a peek into the stadium.

The pitch was completely covered with artificial flooring, where the ring will be surrounded by fans.

Machinery and cranes were seen moving about the area where grass is usually growing, putting metal frames in place.

Large screens display advertisements for the fight, with interactive sponsorship boards that read: "Two Days to Go."

Hearn also took fans inside the luxurious hospitality boxes before moving on to the press conference area.

For the fight, more than 60,000 people will be in the stadium.

The promoter stated that he believes the fight will begin at 10 p.m., contrary to other AJ bouts, which start closer to 11 p.m.

He stated that AJ's ringwalk would probably take place at 10 o'clock in the evening, which is quite early.

"And I believe that the broadcast will begin at 7pm. That's five fights, then Anthony Joshua.

After his victory in the cruiserweight division, Usyk won the four World Boxing Super Series belts. Saturday's fight will be Usyk's third in weight class.
