Ahead of
the much talked about fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua,
which has been sold out...with over 90,000 boxing fans set to see the fight at
the Wembley stadium come
Saturday...
...Klitschko while speaking to press, has taken a jibe at Joshua,
saying the undefeated IBF Champion, will crumble like a cookie come
Saturday.... “ I will make sure Anthony Joshua crumble like a cookie” counting
on his experience to do the job on Joshua...The
former Champion said:
"Experience
is something that you cannot buy in the shops,"
"You
have to gain it through the years. It's an advantage.
"People
could be great in the preparation and in great spirit, and I've seen that. But
then they crumble like a cookie just a couple of seconds before the first bell,
I've seen it.
On their
mutual respect so far in the build up to the fight, Wladimir Klitschko said:
"I've
seen their build-up, I've seen their strength, their determination and then
before the first bell, they crumble like a cookie and totally lost their
confidence.
"So
it all depends on the on the character, but yes, I would say as a foundation,
experience is very important."
"This
fight sends out a great message to boxing," he said. "And that
message is how this fight has been promoted.
"It's
great and it hasn't been done this way for a long, long time.
"Try
to fill out a stadium with 90,000 people and as I've heard, we could have been
sold it three times.
"Yet
we didn't do much and the positive thing is that both fighters, we didn't use
the F word or hit each other at the press conference or throw tables, glasses,
you name it, or wear T-shirts.
"I
think the attitude and respect for each other is passing to the young man in
the gym, training, who looks up to their champions and their idols.
"In
such a violent sport as boxing, there has to be mutual respect and that's what
we showed - and I'm proud of that."
