Decent fight this very close. Dillian Whyte also on the Ricky Burns card. Sly Sports 2.

Edit.. Whyte not on the card.

Joshua vs Klitschko this weekend.

Anyone going? Will this match live up to the billing, and most importantly who will win?

Boxing brains seem to favour Joshua. But Kitschko seems super-motivated, think he could take it on points

AJ in the 6th round, he'll tire Klitschko out.

Heavyweight boxing is very meh.

Sky sports news will give it the 'most amazing fight in history' build up however.

 

[Adidas Sharston]

Got a couple of side bets Klitschko comes out for rnd 10.. Still think AJ wins.

The build up is always better than the fight. I credit Sky for this - I don't have much interest in boxing - but I'm buzzing for going round mates, the pre fight beers, the over the top coverage on sky and the entrance etc ... by 5th round I'll prob be too f*cked and asleep

Do you think he'll KO, Klitschko? I'd lean towards a stoppage and then him retiring for good.

I wouldn't attend this fight and neither would I pay for it. I don't think it's worth the money. I will, however, be watching in the pub.

It's a tough one to call this imo .
My heart says AJ to win in 5 but my head says the longer the fight goes Klitschko late stoppage or points.

 

[BlueHammer85]

If AJ wins does that means he holds all titles ? World number 1 ?

I'm not up on my boxing

Apart from 6 or 7 million pounds, he will retain his IBF belt mate.

Looking forward to the lot it's a decent undercard bring it on.

vacant WBA belt also on the line and the lower value (unless you talk to the Eubanks) IBO belt too.

 

[SWP's back]

Anyone know the likely time the Joshua fight will start? Ballpark-ish anyway.
