Boxing returns to Wembley Stadium this 2017 for the highly and eagerly anticipated heavyweight matchup of two gigantic pugilists.
Where can I watch it?
Fight fans can watch Joshua vs. Klitschko live streaming of the main event and the undercard live on Sky Sports Box Office, Showtime Networks at fight time 4:15p ET/1:15p PT
When is it?
The biggest heavyweight boxing bout in recent memory is pencilled in for April 29, 2017.
Where is it?
The IBF heavyweight world title will be on the line when Joshua and Klitschko go toe-to-toe at the home of football, Wembley Stadium, London.
The fight becomes the just the second boxing event to be staged at the national football stadium after Carl Froch knocked out George Groves in the pair's rematch in May 2014.
What are the odds?
The bookmakers have got Joshua pegged as the favourite, four and a half months out from fight night.
Anthony Joshua to win: 4/9 Wladimir Klitschko to win: 13/8 Draw: 33/1
Where can I buy tickets?
The first period of ticket sales commenced at midday on Friday December 16 to Club Wembley members.
Tickets on general sale were priced as low as £40 and ran as high as £2,000 for VIP entry, and quickly sold out despite the fact that the attendance cap has been raised by 10,000 for this fight.
Normally fights at Wembley have a capacity of 80,000, due to the strain on public transport networks. However, a deal has been reached with London mayor Sadiq Khan, Network Rail and Transport for London that will allow for a capacity of 90,000.
In 2014 a packed house saw Carl Froch knock out George Groves in a highly anticipated rematch.
Joshua was the opening fight of that memorable night as he despatched Matt Legg inside a mere 86 seconds.
No doubt the current IBF World Heavyweight Champion would love a repeat of that performance on 29 April!
