War of words begin before Saturday’s Joshua v Klitschko

Friday, 28 April 2017 16:00

A war of words has begun during the build up to the eagerly anticipated Joshua v Klitschko heavyweight title fight.

Anthony Joshua has challenged Wladimir Klitschko to "stand up to the power", following a comment from the Ukrainian, branding Joshua as only "a puncher".

The bout on Saturday, 29 April, will be Klitschko’s 29^th world title fight. He has an impressive tally of 64 wins out of 68, with 53 of them by KO.

At the other end of the career spectrum, Britain’s Joshua has only fought in 18 bouts, though all 18 have been victories by KO.

Klitschko flaunted a memory stick at a press conference, which he claims contains a video prediction of the fight and will be sewn into his robe.

Joshua dismissed the display as “an attempt at a mind game.”
