A fight like this on BBC or Itv  would get in 20 million plus easily.

Jamie Vardy played at Wembley, but he started at Scunthorpe.

I really feel for you guys - this is being streamed live in Amsterdam at the moment, of course we are part of the RTL network, but it really is great to watch boxing live on proper TV

Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind.

"If I hadn't doped, I would never have won". "Doping improves your performance between 5 and 7 per cent, and maybe 10 to 12 per cent when you are in a peak shape.

"Doping isn't addictive but it's an instrument of power: whoever wins attracts the money; for themselves, the team and the sponsors"

Im excpecting the ring walk in 20 minutes, they havent played eye of the tiger yet, or sweet caroline, or announced "lets get ready to rumble".

Long way to go yet.

Slightly random and i cant claim a know a huge amount about boxing but joshua always seems to drop his hand after he throws the big right shots, is there a reason for this and isn't it a weakness? Surely it leaves him open

Corrie Sanders destroyed Klitschko in 2 rounds and probably didn't have the same power as Joshua. I think Joshua will win in 5

Its played prior to every boxing main event in the Uk, and sport main event in general. No idea why, but I went to the Joshua fight when he first won the world title, also to the cheltenham festival, and before the main fight, or the gold cup, they always play this. Ive been seeing it played in all the fights since. I guess its part of the custom now, like the national anthems.
