Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Relects on Wladimir Klitschko Sparring

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Joshua MBE says sparring with Heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko has him fired up for his clash with Konstantin Airich at the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.

The London 2012 Olympic star spent ten days with the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO and The Ring title holder and 1996 Olympic champion in Austria ahead of Klitschko’s now-rearranged title defence against Kubrat Pulev.

Joshua has yet to go beyond two rounds in the paid ranks but German-based Kazakh Airich brings a wealth of experience to Lancashire this weekend with 17 KO wins and 153 rounds in the bank – so Joshua expects his time with Klitschko to be invaluable.

I think sparring with Wlad will prove to be a great learning experience for Joshua, especially this early in his career.

He can only learn from sparring the HW champion of the world.

AJ bashed up Wladimir in sparring.

That's why he pulled out of the Pulev fight.

I think Joshua has a hell of a lot more going for him than wilder. he seems a lot more fluid and technically sound. I feel his chances are good for a future heavyweight title but you never know. hopefully he isn't packing any china

Where's the proof or it's a spoof

Come on now. They're not going to give the Pulev camp extra incentive by releasing footage of Wladimir getting worked over by a novice.

Good experience for Joshua. It will show him what it takes to become a champion and stay a champion. A little strange that Klitschko chose to spar with Joshua ahead of such a big fight against a totally different type of fighter. Maybe Joshua's jab gave him something but still.

To be fair all heavyweights are likely be KTFO by an 18 stone man that lands clean on the chin.

As long as he doesn't get put away by the type of shots Price has he will be fine I am sure.

I only hope that Joshua will never fight like Wlad. I would hate him if he does, just as i hate Wlad. I hope he always keeps a more exciting style.
