Manchester — Anthony Joshua says the size of the occasion will not get to him when he boxes Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley on April 29 in "the biggest fight in British boxing history". The Briton quickly disposed of American Eric Molina in a third-round stoppage win on Saturday and his next title defence against Klitschko was then immediately announced from the ring. Joshua, 27, made a second defence of IBF world heavyweight title against Molina, who he floored in the third round before forcing the stoppage after the American got up from a count. The WBA version of the world title is also expected to be on the line against Ukrainian Klitschko, who ruled for nine-and-a-half years until losing the IBF, WBA and WBO belts on points to Briton Tyson Fury a year ago.
