Both are 6ft 6in tall, and have a similar reach, Joshua just nicking it at 82ins to Klitschko’s 81ins.
Joshua has a perfect professional record since leaving the amateur ranks following his Olympic gold medal at super-heavyweight at London 2012, with 18 wins and 18 KOs in 18 fights.
In contrast Klitschko, who also won Olympic gold medal at super-heavyweight at Atlanta in 1996, has fought 68 times as a professional.
