Is this the heavyweight fight the world has been waiting for?
'It's the fight that will get the masses out and draw massive attention and they're the type of fights that can change the way that people view you in your industry'
Britain's IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua believes beating Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley stadium in April would raise his status to the level of a "legend". "This is a fight that can change (me) from champion to legend overnight," he told a news conference on Wednesday to promote the April 29 bout. "It's the fight that will get the masses out and draw massive attention and they're the type of fights that can change the way that people view you in your industry," added the 27-year-old. The 2012 Olympic super-heavyweight champion has won all of his 18 professional fights well inside the distance and stopped American Eric Molina in Manchester last Saturday in the third round.
