Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53KO) and Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18KO) went face to face at the last press conference prior to the World Boxing Association Super Heavyweight Championship.
Both fighters were blunt in their statements to the media on Thursday and showed themselves ready to meet the 90 thousand people expected to be present this Saturday at Wembley.
Klitschko was the first to speak and said that the youth of his rival will not be an inconvenience: “His age is the same number as many years I’ve been in boxing! But I feel young, hungry & obsessed”.
“Obsession is love in extreme shape. The belts are important, I’ve been attached to them for a long time”, said Klitschko.
For his part, Joshua was very sure of himself and said: “The best man will win. I take the sport seriously. April 29th is another stepping stone towards greatness”.
“I win! It’s not complicated. We’ll move forward and keep the ball rolling after”, added Joshua.
The last stop for this great battle is this Friday, at the weigh-in ceremony.
