    Toby Cornes: Quiet, cagey start, both styles too similar for a decent fight? Joshua marginally up for me.

    Round 3

    An attack early from Joshua in the third leaves Klitschko looking uncomfortable. But any attack is a short-lived one. Now Klitschko has the middle ground in the ring.

    The general consensus seemed to be that Klitschko would have more of a chance, the longer the fight went. At no stage has he looked in any danger yet.

    Round 2

    Joshua looked a little bit bemused in that round. 

    I think the problem is, he can't cope with the movement of Klitschko. He has started really well. 

    Joshua has got to start doubling up his jab - he has neglected his jab at the moment.

    Round 2

    Two rounds down, and we have seen very few shots landed cleanly. It is tense, but Joshua could well be two up.

    Round 2

    A big right from Joshua hits shoulder, not face, and Klitschko is able to shrug it off.

    But it raises the noise levels even higher. Joshua is the one stepping forward, while Klitschko prefers to look for the counter-attack punch.

    He has not had much success so far though.

    We have been at ringside at hundreds of title fights but never have we seen such an intense opening round.

    Round 1

    Klitschko is coming forward with his jab but he isn't quick on his feet. He is going to walk straight forward into a Joshua right hand. You can see it coming all day long.

    Round 1

    Good jabs from Joshua, but neither boxer is in any trouble in the opening round. A left hook from Joshua is off range, if it had connected it would have been an early test of the Klitschko jaw, but it was not to be.

    Joshua did more of the attacking though and may well have done enough to catch the judges' eyes in that one. 

    "Show him what a fighter you are, you're better than that," Klitschko is told.

    Round 1

    The noise is deafening at Wembley. Joshua hopes to find his range early on with the big right hand, and Klitschko is looking a bit nervous, a bit on the back foot, unsurprisingly wary of an opponent who has knocked out everyone he has fought.

    And now is the time for the national anthem. Wladimir Klitschko's sister-in-law Natalia belts out the Ukrainian song.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger loves it. I'm sure others do as well, but Schwarzenegger is the one the cameras focus on.

    Anthony Joshua looks special in that all white outfit. 

    He looks like an old timer. I'm not going to say he looks like Ali but it's got that feel to it.

    Klitschko looks very relaxed and controlled. I think he looks cool and I'm impressed with that. 

    Like I've said, he is used to this. He has done this before.
