    Been excited for this for so long. Love watching Joshua.

    Am watching all the warm up fights. Usually these big fights I forget are on, and miss them. I don't want to miss this, so watching all the fights tonight.

    Come on AJ. Knock that old man down!

    P.S - You don't need to tell everyone you want to cripple or kill your opponent to get viewers, so it seems. Great to see a bit of mutual respect.

    Really fascinating matchup, both have a lot to lose. Klitschko facing retirement if he loses surely, whilst Joshua can really establish himself with a win and begin to shake the accusation that he's only any good against journeymen.

    The gulf in experience is so interesting too. Joshua needs to be so disciplined, he's had rash moments in previous fights and that could cost him.

    It came up saying 3 belts on the line. Is that just the 3 belts? Or do either already own other belts that aren't on the line? Is it: winner is a 3 title holder? Or if it: 3 more belts up for grabs tonight?

    Hmm, which 3?
    Joshua has IBF and WBA is vacant so could conceivably be awarded, has Fury been stripped of the IBO belt? Wilder and Parker still hold belts, how many are there??

    Can't remember now. Next time it flashes up, I'll post them. All I know is that it said 3 titles on the line.

    This Quigg Vs Simeone Match was brutal. They just both went all out. Hardly any blocking at all!

    IBF belt being defended by Joshua, IBO and WBA belts on the line.

    Does Klitschko not have any belts?

    Lost to Fury in his last fight I think? Don't believe he's fought since. So would have lost the IBO belt to Fury. Fury has then lost the belt through inactivity, so it makes sense for it to be on the line tonight.

    Ah, yes, very true. What about the West Bromwich Albion belt?

    Took me a while to find that one, apparently vacated by Fury when he retired around October, he held 3, was stripped of one and vacated the other two when he retired.

    I'm going to be so gutted if Joshua loses this. If Furry can beat him!?

    Only thing nagging at the back of my mind is how he would have reacted to that loss, the embarrassment, making him work harder and smarter.

    Joshua just seems so much fitter, faster, hungry to climb. If Klitschko win's it's going to be one of the most impressive of his career.

    Fury boxed very clever, he made it hard for Klitschko to land anything. Klitschko was also well off his best then, and seems to be super motivated for this fight.

    I'd love to see Joshua do it, but I think Klitschko might well cause an upset.

    I believe he could. I wouldn't put it past him.

    I just can't see past Joshua.

    Bloody hell. The walk to the ring! The flashign lights, the fireworks, the podium waving between an A and J in lights.

    He's not won yet!! That has knocked my confidence in him. Keep saying to the GF, what is he now gets knocked out in the first round!? After all this B*llocks!?

    Get in the ring, and act focus and professional.

    Yeah, surely no way back? Klitschko is waiting to pick him off.
