Anthony Joshua has updated fans ahead of his highly anticipated bout against Carlos Takam.
The heavyweight world champion faces Takam at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday evening as he looks to retain the titles he fought so hard to win against Wladimir Klitschko.
With an anticipated crowd of 80,000 people set to gather in the Welsh capital, Joshua would not be blamed for feeling some nerves.

But judging by his Instagram snap, Joshua has not been struck by any fear ahead of that encounter.
He wrote as a caption to the social media photo: 'Feeling fight day fresh #stayhungry'.
Joshua's serenity in his Instagram post stands in contrast to the questions over his weight at Friday's weigh-in.

The British fighter came in at the largest weight of his career, a full stone heavier than Takam, contrary to promoter Eddie Hearn's predictions.
Joshua commented when asked: 'I don't know what's happened. I've been starving myself.
'I've trained hard so maybe it's the extra running. Maybe I'm filling out naturally as I'm getting older'
He has turned 28, but insisted: 'I've never felt better and fitter in my life. '
