    The line "it depends what Klitschko has left" is the most go-to phrase in London this week.

    A number of former well-known boxers are warming the crowd here. Kevin Mitchell goes big expecting Joshua to be too explosive.

    "He's a fast starter. I think he will be too quick and I'm going knockout in two rounds."

    Former world champion Johnny Nelson says if the fight goes past five rounds there will only be one winner - Klitschko. "If he gets through the first half he wins, it's that simple."

    Now that's a view. A whopping 90,000 people will be thinking about it, with many making this walk from the tube.

    This bout brings two Olympic champions together of course, Wladimir Klitschko in 1996, Anthony Joshua in 2012. So it's fitting that just before Wembley way you walk here...

    Get Involved - #bbcsportsdaypublished at 12:47 British Summer Time 28 April 2017

    What will happen in the rest of this season and why?

    Peter Pedro Johnston: Arsenal will beat Spurs on Sunday and end their title charge and unbeaten run, then typically lose at home to Sunderland and for the first time in over 20 years will finish outside the top four and below Spurs.

    Jonathan Kelly: Leeds to get back on their bike after wobbling and falling off, to get right back into the mix as Fulham, Sheffield Wednesday and Reading all wobble ... then sneak it on the final day - remembering that play-offs are played on grass and not paper.

    Damon Golds: Win at the weekend and Brighton are champions of the championship so it's going very good. I knew it’d be a good season but possible champions - wasn't expecting that. SEAGULLS!

    Joshua v Klitschko

    There's been talk of 6,000 people attending this weigh-in. Now that's some crowd to see you stand in your boxer shorts.

    I often wonder how much thought goes into the underwear choice. At this level, these guys probably send a member or their entourage to pick the garment out.

    We had an interesting chat regarding entourages on the way to yesterday's news conference. Anthony Joshua has plenty of men buzzing about him working away. The consensus was it's necessary. Such are the demands on these fighters in terms of media and training, the ability to pay a few friends to take care of life's hassles may well free up critical energy which would be otherwise wasted.

    You'll spot the Joshua clan today, they'll all be dressed in black tracksuits while their man steps on the scales.

    Their lead story says Manchester United are willing to sell David de Gea to Real Madrid for 75m euros (£63.4m). Marca also suggests that United boss Jose Mourinho wants to sign Manchester City's Joe Hart (currently on loan at Torino) to replace De Gea.

    And there's more. The paper goes on to say that United are also interested in Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata and midfielder James Rodriguez.

    The American said: "Joshua will try to take it to him, he will try to be the boss to some degree. Klitschko does have a dynamite right hand and that could be bad news for Joshua."
