Today sees the final Joshua vs Povetkin press conference before their heavyweight title fight on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.
Over 80,000 will pack the stadium, most of which will be in support of hometown man Joshua.
The only remaining tickets that could not be sold were apparently coach packages.
Talk between Joshua and Povetkin has been pretty respectful in the run to this fight, on the whole. Trash talk isn’t in either of their nature to be honest.
Speaking on Joshua ahead of the fight Povetkin described him as a nice guy, chilled and that he seemed intelligent. Hardly fighting words – but that’s not how these two warriors roll.
Talking with their fists has ultimately seen them have success at the highest level of boxing as both amateur and professionals. They know what it’s important and gets the job done at the end of the day.
Saturday night sees a clash between two fighters are different stages of their careers. 28-year-old Joshua still has it all ahead of him despite his quick success so far in boxing.
Povetkin at 39 knows that this is likely his last shot at the big time at this stage. His last chance to reach the pinnacle of heavyweight boxing.
