According to AFP reports, Britain’s heavyweight world champion
Anthony Joshua looks forward to fighting Ukrainian veteran Wladimir Klitschko.
The 27-year-old 2012 Olympic champion —
who defended his IBF title successfully last Saturday against American
journeyman Eric Molina — will face Klitschko on April 29 at Wembley
Stadium and said the bout could be a life-changing experience for him.
“A knockout is the cherry on top but to win, whichever way, is very
possible,” said Joshua at a press conference also attended by Klitschko
at Wembley on Wednesday.
“This is a fight that can change one from champion to legend overnight.
“It will draw masses of attention and they are the type of fights that can change the way people view you.”
Klitschko, who will be 41 by the time
the bout takes place, said he has stayed in the sport since losing his
WBA, IBF and WBO belts in a surprise defeat by troubled British pugilist
Tyson Fury in November 2015 expressly to regain his titles.
Klitschko, has said “I am obsessed with my goal to become the champion again,”
