Make no mistake ! This will be a very hard fight for Joshua . Last chance saloon for Klitschko , and I can see this fight going all the way . Too close to call for me.

What hype? Both fighters been very respectful and professional

I'm sure Joshua can't do worse than David Haye.

[iwasthere1972]

The hype from Sky Sports News. Nothing to do with the respect that both fighters have for each other which I must admit is refreshing. Much better than that Scouser loudmouth Tony Bellew.

I'm not even that keen in boxing.

AJ by KO in the 10th round

[lucky]

Betfair says the fight starts at 10:30. I'm going for AJ in the 6th at 14/1

I think that's Central European time.

It has to start at 10 otherwise it'll break the curfew.

[lord bunberry]

Still not convinced by Quigg. I love Freddy Roach, but he cant work miracles. Fair play to Simeon though.

[The_Exile]

He must be the fittest boxer in the game at the moment, fabulous conditioning from Quigg. Was one of the cards 117-111 there? That's a bit unfair on Simion, was closer than that IMO.

Main event soon, I'm going for a Wlad KO within 6 with that left hook that he possesses, probably the best left hook ever.

[marinello59]

What an undercard that was. Great stuff.
Now for 3 rounds of mayhem before Joshua raises his arms in victory.

[Wembley67]

Ukraine to smash him in 5, easy.

[calumhibee1]

I presume this can't kick off before the scheduled time of 10pm?

[H18 SFR]

There doesn't seem to be much ringside chat on sky. It's just chat looking at the fight schedule. Pish coverage.

[The_Exile]

I presume this can't kick off before the scheduled time of 10pm?

I think Eddie Hearn tweeted that the first bell will be 10pm on the button.

I've gone for Joshua to win by unanimous decision at 11/1. I love these sort of fights, you can't pick a winner. Joshua is the up and coming fighter, but hasn't fought anyone of this class.
Klitschko has done it all, but has ruled the division at a time when decent heavyweights have been thin on the ground. During the glory days of heavyweight boxing when guys like Tyson, Bowe, Holleyfield etc were around, klitschko would've been an also ran imo. His brother might have been more of a contender.

[The_Exile]

I've had a bit of a novelty bet on the "gone in 60 seconds" bet on betfair on Joshua at 66/1 :greengrin Think the first round or so will be pretty cagey though.

[lucky]

Looks like your spot on

[hibs#1]

Here we go ringwalks now.

[lord bunberry]

Let's get ready to rumble.....

[The_Exile]

Can't believe they cut off Wilder so they could film folk singing Neil Diamond song.

Wlad walking in to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as usual, he's instantly won the ring walk battle!

[Pretty Boy]

Wlad looks very focussed. He looks like a hungry challenger all over again.

[lord bunberry]

We can put a show on for the boxing like no other country. This is quite impressive.

[hibs#1]

Got to say joshua is a star.

[lord bunberry]

Can't believe they cut off Wilder so they could film folk singing Neil Diamond song.

I love Neil Diamond :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Joshua looking cool and fearless as well. He's either a genius or crazy.

[Pretty Boy]

I love Neil Diamond :greengrin

Always played at Eddie Hearn shows and always gets the crowd going becaus everyone loves Neil Diamond. Him and Jeff Beck.

[hibs#1]

Dunno aj has now got notorious big on think that might win 😉

[lucky]

Some atmosphere and great walks to the ring by both of them. AJ in the first or sixth for a couple of daft bets

[The_Exile]

National anthems are grim, apart from the Italian one, everyone should just sing the Italian one.

They are just dull better with Neil Diamond

[lord bunberry]

klitschko looks a mean mother ****er.

[The_Exile]

No head movement from Joshua, could prove his undoing.

[hibs#1]

Not much in the 1st. Even round for me.

[Pretty Boy]

Decent start from Joshua.

[lucky]

Nothing happens in the first. Both look wary of getting caught

[Pretty Boy]

This isn't looking like a flashy KO type of fight. One for the tacticians.

Joshua looking for the big shot, Klitshcko happy to box his way out of trouble and trust he won't get caught.

[lucky]

Better from AJ. Wlad not flinging much so far

[lord bunberry]

Levels you devils so far.

[lucky]

AJs best round. Got him 1 up

[hibs#1]

Still pretty level quite like klitscho defensive work

[Pretty Boy]

****ing hell. Joshua showing what he's about.

[Pretty Boy]

No Joshua looks ****ed. What a round.

[hibs#1]

What a round

[lucky]

Wow what a round. AJ looks out on his feet but hung on in there

[The_Exile]

Left hook ripped the soul out of Joshua there.

[Pretty Boy]

Joshua got cocky and didn't reapect the Kiltschko power.

[lord bunberry]

How much has Joshua got in the tank

[hibs#1]

Joshua still looks gassed

[Pretty Boy]

Joshua is gassed. Only one winner here

[The_Exile]

Stunning, a master at work here.

[lucky]

AJ not going to survive this. What a fight

[hibs#1]

Klistchkos experience is winning here.

[lord bunberry]

Give AJ his due he's still standing and in the fight

[Pretty Boy]

Wlad looks like a naturally big man. Joshua looks pumped up and tired.

[Pretty Boy]

If this shows nothing else it emphasises just how underrated Tyson Fury is. Including by myself.

[The_Exile]

If this shows nothing else it emphasises just how underrated Tyson Fury is. Including by myself.

My thoughts exactly, he hasn't been mentioned once by Sky tonight, he's still the man.

[lucky]

Sensible round by AJ. Hopefully can start going again

[hibs#1]

If this shows nothing else it emphasises just how underrated Tyson Fury is. Including by myself.

I'd agree I always thought he was average I was wrong.

[lord bunberry]

Wlad looks like a naturally big man. Joshua looks pumped up and tired.
:agree: A bit like frank bruno. Only one winner for me now.

[hibs#1]

My thoughts exactly, he hasn't been mentioned once by Sky tonight, he's still the man.

Probably because he called hearn,aj and bellew etc bit bitchies the other day.

[lord bunberry]

The klitschko jab is sublime. It's killing AJ

[The_Exile]

AJ seems to have his senses back but no real snap in the punches.

[Pretty Boy]

Better round from AJ. Fight still in the balance.

[The_Exile]

All to play for here, championship rounds now, this is where we find out if Wlads legs are too old.

[lucky]

Anyone's fight at this stage

[johnbc70]

That 5th round was something else.

[lord bunberry]

I've got it level right now. I thought AJ was done, but he could grind this out.

[lucky]

Level for me. Two rounds for either of them to win it

[Pretty Boy]

Joshua looks ****ed and is headhunting but it's working. That knockdown might seal it.

[Pretty Boy]

That's it. Bar a KO it's his.

[Pretty Boy]

Oooft. Gutsy from AJ and showing another side to him. What a comeback.

[The_Exile]

Wow!!!! Epic!!!!

[Allant1981]

well done joshua as it looked like he was gone halfway through

[lucky]

Unbelievable fight. What a fight. AJ is the real deal

[johnbc70]

Great fight, one of the best.

[Mon Dieu4]

What a fight, got to give Klitscho his due, best I've seen him fight in years too

[lord bunberry]

No one can argue that this kid is the real deal. I've doubted him up until now, but he took the punches tonight, he lasted the pace and he knocked the guy out late in the fight.
Well done champ.

[hibs#1]

Unbelievable fight.really lived up to the hype.thought aj was done but his power was still there.klistchko was great aswell.

A superstar is born in aj.

[hibs#1]

Haha hearn getting boo'ed by 90'000 people.

[lucky]

Haha hearn getting boo'ed by 90'000 people.

I'm sure he'll survive with his cut of tonight's proceedings

[hibs#1]

I'm sure he'll survive with his cut of tonight's proceedings

And the rematch.

[The_Exile]

I honestly never thought Joshua would have the chin to take the power of Wlads punches so well played AJ, great chin, great heart and now the man to beat.

[calumhibee1]

Great fight, absolutely superb from both fighters. Joshua has really proven himself tonight.

[Lancs Harp]

Listened to it on the radio so obviously havent seen it, but it sounded a hell of a fight.

[Scouse Hibee]

Great fight, best heavyweight fight for a long long time that I can recall. Joshua answered many questions.

[Sir David Gray]

I'm no boxing expert and I watched it from a pub window as they were full but that looked like a great fight.

Joshua is a machine.

[Nameless]

Phenomenal.

[kenny.ff]

Best heavyweight fight ive seen. Joshua has proved hes the real deal, wk would have beaten any other heavyweight in the world tonight.

[ekhibee]

I've not seen it yet but it sounded like quite a fight. Who do you think would win between Joshua and Fury?

[sleeping giant]

I'm no boxing expert and I watched it from a pub window as they were full but that looked like a great fight.

Brilliant post :greengrin

[kenny.ff]

I think fury is very under rated, but for me its a joshua win.

[Navids Numpties]

I think fury is very under rated, but for me its a joshua win.

Fury would out box AJ. Can't punch what you can't hit and that's the tactic I assume fury would use.

[Scouse Hibee]

Ya tight git!

[silverhibee]

Superb fight, ended up in the Clerrie Inn to watch it, from 1st to KO was superb from 2 great fighters, I had £20 on Wlad in the 10th round and i thought he had AJ, but great come back from him and now he is the man to beat in the heavyweight division.

AJ is going to be a great ambassador for boxing for years to come, just a pity he will have to come up against a foul mouthed Fury at some point and no doubt Fury will try and ridicule AJ in the build up when they do fight, hope AJ teaches Fury a proper boxing lesson and beats the s**t out of him.

[HibernianJK]

Really top class fight and although AJ deserved victory in the end it showed that top class Heavyweights can compete with him and can expose him. Would Klitschko of 4/5 years ago have stopped Joshua when he was rocked? Maybe, will never know.

Looking forward to seeing AJ take on more of the top Heavyweights and hopefully cement his position as the very best around.
