What’s on the line?
Joshua is the reigning IBF world heavyweight title holder, a belt that Klitschko lost in defeat to Tyson Fury in November 2015.
Fury was subsequently stripped of the belt after failing to fight mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov. Charles Martin, who beat Glazkov, then lost his first defence of the belt to Joshua.
The WBA (Super) and vacant IBO world heavyweight titles, both previously held by Fury, will also be on the line.
Who will win?
