  1. Campbell winspublished at 20:02 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    It is a big, big win in the career of Luke Campbell.

    The Brit, who won a bantamweight Olympic gold medal at London 2012, is now going to get a world title fight at lightweight.

    Colombian opponent Darleys Perez, who was in trouble in the eighth, looks to have sustained an arm injury and pulls himself out of the fight in the ninth, although Campbell had dominated the last few rounds.

    Some big nights ahead for Campbell.

    Sean:  Mike Tyson, went out to demolish the other geezer not just win. No games.

    Dion: My favourite was and still is Mike Tyson. Absolutely terrifying, lethal and the very definition of box office. My idol as a kid.

    Bish: Has to be Lewis. Loved watching him vs Holyfield and then that win against Tyson was brilliant.

  3. Campbell in chargepublished at 19:59 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    Luke Campbell is on top at Wembley Stadium.

    He wobbles opponent Darleys Perez in the eighth in their WBA world lightweight championship eliminator. The Colombian takes a step back after eating a beautiful looping left hook and is on unsteady feet. This fight may not have much time left.

  4. Expert predictions - Carl Frochpublished at 19:56 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch, who beat George Groves at Wembley Stadium in 2014: "This is Joshua's first real test at world level. This is his acid test and against a veteran who can punch, box and move to survive when he needs to.

    "I think Joshua will be nervous. Wembley Stadium will add to those nerves and I don't think they will help him. I don't think he will enjoy it like I did. Purely because there is a lot of pressure on him - he's expected to win and has this massive task.

    "He needs to try and enjoy it. They say cometh the hour cometh the man. He really needs to switch on and live up to what everyone expects of him."

    Did you know? Joshua's weight of 17st 12lbs is the heaviest of his career to date.

    That's what you, the great public, think. Let's find out the thoughts of some big names throughout the sport. Why not start with a man who knows what it is like to win a major fight at Wembley Stadium?

  6. Joshua wins, according to the majoritypublished at 19:52 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    Since earlier today we have been asking, via a vote in a BBC Sport predictions story, who is going to win tonight.

    The results are in and a whopping 72% of you think Anthony Joshua will be getting his arm raised later.

  7. At the moment...published at 19:50 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    What's going on in the ring at the moment?

    Well, Great Britain's Luke Campbell is currently in action against Colombia's Darleys Perez - the man who twice fought against Anthony Crolla in Manchester.

    Perez drew with Crolla first time around, then lost in their rematch. His fight against Campbell is an eliminator for the WBA world lightweight title, well, for Campbell it is.

    Perez failed to make the weight so lost the chance of potentially fighting for a world title next time out. Schoolboy mistake.

    At the moment we are in the sixth round. After a bright Perez start, Campbell has got himself back into the contest. It is tight so far.

  11. The return of Klitschko's conqueror?published at 19:39 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    Klitschko tasted defeat, for the first time in more than 11 years, when he lost to Britain's Tyson Fury on points in Germany in November 2015.

    Fury has not fought since, but this week said he is on his way back.

    Fury v Joshua or Klitschko at Wembley this time next year? Sounds good to me.

  12. Wlad's looking focusedpublished at 19:32 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    The challenger is here. It has been a long, long time since Wladimir Klitschko turned up at an arena without any world title gold.

    Will he be smiling later on? Does he have one more glorious night in an incredible career?

    Wembley Park tube station crackles with atmosphere today. Gangs descend the stairway, many of them stopping for selfies with this famous stadium in the backdrop.

    This wonderful piece of real estate serves up dreams and despair in equal measure. On the approach, the masses cover Olympic Way - fitting as we prepare to watch the Atlanta '96 super-heavyweight gold medal winner and the London 2012 one to boot.

    The two of them are winners, of that there's no doubt. One of them though will wake on Sunday morning and feel that wrench in the pit of their stomach - defeat.

    This is the setting. It will be the biggest post-war British boxing attendance. Just the 90,000 people.

    It will be just a little bit busier than this picture earlier today. In fact, it will be carnage.
