    Eighteen men have tried to stop Anthony Joshua. Eighteen men have spectacularly failed.

    Since winning an Olympic gold medal, nothing has stopped the Brit as he has destroyed everyone in his path on his way to winning and then retaining the IBF world heavyweight championship.

    Now he faces a superstar. Former undisputed champion Wladimir Klitschko is the man in the opposition corner but he is beatable - as Tyson Fury proved to end Klitschko's 11-year heavyweight domination.

    A perfect, devastating record, versus a boxing legend. Ninety thousand people at Wembley. Interest around the world. 

    Fights do not get bigger than this. Nights do not get bigger than this.
