Former WBO champion, Wladimir Klitschko has cautioned British boxer of Nigerian origin, Anthony Femi Joshua that battling him will be like confronting Mount Everest when they meet on 29 April.
The Ukrainian who lost his heavyweight title to Tyson Fury in November 2015, will fight Joshua for the IBF, WBA and WBO titles.
“You can climb Mount Everest in a certain period of time in the window of the year. You might make it or you might not. But Mount Everest is still there. So am I.” Klitschko boasted. Joshua, who turned professional in 2013, is the IBF champion and remains unbeaten after 18 fights.
However, Klitschko will be his hardest adversary to date, with 64 wins and 53 knockouts since 1996 when he turned professional. It is estimated that their fight at Wembly will attract more than 90,000 spectators.
