That can't be right can it?

I read somewhere that he's the richest man in boxing. Obviously fighter like FMJ have earned huge money but Buffet has been doing this regularly for years. Incredible isn't it.

"April 29 is just another stepping stone towards greatness."

Is AJ talking about himself or Wlad?

Wlad looks absolutely shredded by the way. Can't remember seeing him in such great shape.

£4m for announcing the fights thou?????

On another note, Bellew & Wilder b!tching at each other after the weigh in. Possible fight down the line?

"I hate the world right now. Just to let you know, Bernd Bonte, the silver haired midget prck who is Wladimir Klitschko's manager has barred me from going to Joshua v Klitschko tomorrow night. 18 months ago he banned me from interviewing Klitschko as apparently i am too involved with Tyson Fury and Team Fury. So after an arguement a year ago, i decided to stay away from Team Klitschko for the whole of the build up to this Joshua fight. But still the little dwarf cunnnt has done this. Been going to Matchroom shows for 7 years, IFL hasnt missed one in SEVEN years and its not them, its Klitschko's lot, but this is actually heart-breaking that I wont be there for the biggest fight in British boxing. My life is fcking boxing. Right now i hate the sport. fck you bernd bonte you complete and utter Cunnnt."

wlad has more ko's at the highest level than femi has boxed round

Wlad has been stopped 3 times in the past by Purrity, Sanders & Brewster. None of those 3 have the power of Joshua and it proved that even in his younger days in his prime he can be stopped.

Anyone can be stopped. Getting stopped three times over an illustrious 20 year career isn't really saying that much. Also all those stoppages were well over 10 years ago.

When he was late 20's early 30's and in the prime of his career you mean?

The heavyweight division was in the toilet for most of the time in the late 00's until recent times. In the heavyweight division anyone can get ko'd because everyone's got a punchers chance but the simple fact that in recent times Wlad has been jabbing and holding.

Joshua has to get him done early and I think he will!

AJ to feel him out for a round, realise Klits over the hill and $hit anyway and then knock him out in the 2nd

To be bluntly honest, AJ should just retire if he can't beat Klitschko tbh. 41, hasn't fought in about 18 months, has always been chinny and over rated anyway.

Fury sparring earlier still looks quicker than AJ + Klit at 24 stone

Nope those three ko's happened in 98, 03 and 04 when Wlad was in his 20's, not in his 30's. None of those stoppages happened when Wlad was at his real peak and when he dominated the division from the mid 00's up until his loss to Fury.

Wlad wore heels at the Fury weigh in as well, it's what he does. Not sure why he's bothering though as everyone knows they're the same height. Can remember the Fury camp laughing it off.

50/50 fight for me. I think it all comes down to which Wlad turns up. If the same one that fought Fury turns up, AJ will dismantle him within 6. IF Wlad comes in near his best, it will be a very interesting fight. Both men like the straight one two and the left hooks. Physically they are identical but AJ has the speed. This will be a mental chess match and I see the fighter with the better timing and pacing coming out on top. Wlad needs to move and come in at angles whilst using that infamous jab to deter AJ. AJ needs to use his jab to work his way in and let Wlad have a taster early of the power he is carrying. I personally think Wlad is past it and we will see the same version we saw against Fury. He will still make it tough for AJ with the holding and his ring smarts but I see AJ landing a big shot late on and stopping him.

AJ win via TKO round 9.

Was gonna post without racing previous comments.

Glad I did as you've saved me a tonne of writing

I see a similar fight but a much earlier stoppage for Joshua.. Rounds 4-6. Just think he'll have too much for Wlad and won't come in too nervous or hung-ho.. Which will almost preempt Wlad into fighting as he has to as the challenger.

Gonna be a very tactical fight until one of them lands a heavy shot.
