Can't wait for it!

80,000, that's a ton of people, atmosphere for that fight is gonna be crazy, if AJ KO's Klitschko that stadium is gonna crumble and AJ will be UK's favorite fighter.

Wow, this is going to be massive.

Great scrap deserving of the attention. If Joshua comes with the in-fighting skills of a dog, he takes Klitschko out inside of five rounds. But you can never count out the old master. The guy knows how to break up your rhythm.

Why do they need approval for 85K when they can fit 90K for soccer matches?

Football (or soccer) fans are easier for the police to co-ordinate, and for public transport to accomodate. When you've got 90,000 people coming and going from every part of the country it's more difficult.

This is going to be a very tactical fight, both guys are very selective and don't want to take risks they don't have to. I'm going to go with Klitschko if he still has the feet that allowed him to avoid Haye's counters.

There's no crowd on the pitch for football matches. If something happens in the stands fans flood on to the pitch, if the pitch is already full there could be problems. It's all safety shit.

I guess Joshua has to be favourite, Klitschko is evidently on the wane.

I'd love for Klitschko to win I would much preferred to have seen him face Brisne December to gauge where he's at right now, he's been out too long now though.

I liked how Klitschko conducted himself throughout the last presser vs Joshua, he appears to mean business and have the belief he has what it takes to stop the hype train of Joshua gathering any more momentum. A loss and I'm fairly certain he will retire wishing he had retired whilst he was on top like his brother.

Was Fluff Furry considered an unknown quantity ?

Who da fuck is Fluff Furry?
