“People in the Klitschko training camp that I know say he is looking terrible.
“That all augers well for Joshua to blitz him.”

Age might have caught up to him.

Just speculation - but we all suspected it's happening at the right time for AJ.

And he's not a one punch KO man in the mould of a fading Tyson who at the end of his career could still take someone out in a round or 2.

I just hope Wlad won't look line an old man come the 29th - I suspect it's his last fight either way

Wlad has looked piss poor in his last 2 fights and you never know he might even pull out of this with another "Injury"

That'll be grand.

The last part of his resume will read "got beat by a flash in the pan HW... pulled out of the rematch with an injury... pulled out of a face-redeeming fight with yet another "injury".

Gives new meaning to "going out with a whimper."

If he does look bad then Wlad should retire and not tarnish his legacy. Other fighters have done the honourable thing and retire before a big fight because they did not have "it".

Henry Wharton did retire before a big fight.
