World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Anthony Joshua Faces His Toughest Test On Saturday

By -
World heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has described a return to London’s Wembley stadium for the latest defence of his title belts in front of a home crowd on Saturday as "a blessing".



The 28-year-old will put his world boxing association, WBA, international boxing federation IBF and world boxing organization WBO, titles on the line against Russia’s Alexander Povetkin.
The fight promises to be Joshua’s toughest bout since his thrilling stoppage of former champion Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in April last year.
Joshua comes into Saturday’s contest having won all 21 of his professional bouts, although his last fight, against New Zealand's Joseph Parker in Cardiff in March, saw him go the distance for the first time as a pro before he secured a unanimous points decision.
Povetkin, served notice of his punching power on the undercard of that bout, with a sickening knockout of Britain’s David Price.
Joshua admits that Povetkin was one of the toughest challengers.
A crowd of 80,000 is expected on Saturday but Joshua said the burden of expectation remained the same regardless of the size of the crowd.
