In an earlier interview, IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) discussed his belief that Wladimir Klitschko will play it safe on April 29th, by working behind his jab and not engaging to make things exciting.

The two fighters will collide at Wembley and up to 90,000 fans are excited. In the UK the bout will by carried on pay-per-view by Sky Sports Box Office. The television rights in the United States have not been established yet. The vacant WBA, IBO heavyweight belts will also be at stake in the fight.

"I respect [his style], but it's not [exciting], no. His style has worked for him so you can't knock it. But you've got to land a few, give a few, work on the inside. The first rounds are always cagey but, by the fourth round, the fight has to get exciting. That Riddick Bowe-Evander Holyfield style scrap? That Dillian Whyte-Dereck Chisora style scrap? You never know, but I don't see him fighting like that," Joshua told Sky Sports.

Klitschko ruled the heavyweight division for a decade. His rule came to an end last November, when he was shockingly decisioned in a major upset at the hands of Tyson Fury. Against Fury, Klitschko barely threw any punches. Against Joshua, Klitschko has promised to let his hands go from the opening bell.

"Klitschko is very dominant at putting people on their back foot, on the edge of the ring. Even with Tyson Fury, a bigger and taller man, he had him moving. So sometimes you have to let him know that your presence is in the ring also. You could come out feinting, pushing him back. In the clinches, lean on him. Or you could come out dancing like Fury did, or come out slipping shots," Joshua said.

"It will be interesting to see which style I bring to the table against Klitschko. I like to adapt to the fighter. Maybe I'll counter him, maybe I'll move on the back foot. I haven't got a game plan. That's why I like shots thrown at me, because I figure them out. I'll hopefully figure out Klitschko as the rounds go on."

Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) is still planning to let those hands go in April. And he says there are lot of weapons at his disposal to use against Joshua.

"I think trainers and fighters have been studying my style and they are aware I can knock people out with both hands. I showed it many times. I do have a lot of weapons. One of them is the jab. It depends how much Anthony is going to give me to use, and which weapon I'm going to choose," Klitschko said.

Klitschko also rejected the claim that his performance against Fury is an indicator of his age and decline as a top fighter.

"Actually the opposite," he said. "With age I got faster. And my endurance got better, my anticipation. Until now I've seen progress. I always ask my team - you guys better tell me before I slow down, because maybe I won't feel it. Just tell me if it's there. So it's not just my opinion. It's the opinion of people who are close to me."
