0:00:02 > 0:00:09This programme contains very strong language
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Once in a generation, a special fighter enters the ring.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19More than a boxer, he transcends his sport.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Brutal.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Brilliant.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Unbeaten.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33But now a shadow falls across the ring.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36A challenger emerges more dangerous than before.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40On Saturday night at Wembley Stadium,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Britain's Anthony Joshua faces Wladimir Klitschko
0:00:43 > 0:00:46for the heavyweight championship of the world.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58The British golden boy against the man who held the title for almost a decade.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02It's the biggest live event in the history of British boxing,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06a fight that can make Anthony Joshua a global icon.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11It's a fight that Anthony Joshua COULD lose.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24SIRENS WAIL
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- AMERICAN ACCENT: - Hey, man, no paparazzi, man.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- No paparazzi, man. - HE CHUCKLES
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Right now we're in New York.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44This is the official AJ versus WK press conference.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48So we're doing a little tour.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53# Start spreading the news... #
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- He doesn't want to talk to you. - Oh, OK.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06He says, "Keep me away, keep me away."
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I'm fighting a legend in the sport.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I'm going to steal you for some make-up, if you want to follow me.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13We're not the best of friends, we don't exchange messages like,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17"Great day today, bro." There's none of that, but I think there's just
0:02:17 > 0:02:19that mutual respect as to what he's achieved
0:02:19 > 0:02:20and what I'm trying to achieve.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24JOSHUA LAUGHS
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I've been trying to tell them.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28'What he looks at is that,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31' "I was that guy and I know what he's about to embark on." '
0:02:32 > 0:02:34# New York
0:02:34 > 0:02:35# New... #
0:02:35 > 0:02:37'I totally feel him.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40'I've been there, I've done that, I totally feel the man'
0:02:40 > 0:02:45and...it's like a mirror of myself.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Let's rock and roll. - Right, guys, so you can all follow me, we're going to go...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51'At the minute, it's all business,
0:02:51 > 0:02:55'but when we're exchanging blows, man, it gets more personal.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58'That respect goes out the way.'
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Guys, thanks so much for joining us. Great to see you, finally.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Great to be back. - Great to see you, sir.- You too.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Olympic champion. These guys are friends.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08He actually went to your boxing camp as a young man.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14For ten years, Wladimir Klitschko was the dominant force in world boxing.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17The young Anthony Joshua spent time in his camp,
0:03:17 > 0:03:18learning from the master.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25But since Klitschko's shock defeat to Britain's Tyson Fury,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28the former champ is now the challenger.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34Anthony is his route back to the top, via a £30 million mega fight.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Thanks to everyone who's turned out today,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46it's a pleasure to be here and it's a pleasure to be involved with a
0:03:46 > 0:03:49fight, I believe, is the biggest fight in British boxing history.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'm fighting a man that I...
0:03:53 > 0:03:57..was, is and would be a fan of.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02We had plenty of rounds during sparring sessions 2014,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05when Anthony was my sparring partner.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11I believe this man has a lot of skills, but how's he going to feel
0:04:11 > 0:04:16if he's going to get hit again, again, and again, again and again?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Considering your opposition so far,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20do you feel that this could be too much, too soon?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm here for a reason and I'll handle business the same way I've
0:04:24 > 0:04:27been handling business. The objective still remains the same and
0:04:27 > 0:04:29that's to be victorious.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I think it's the perfect time for both of us.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35In three years, he's going to be too good and I'm going to be too old,
0:04:35 > 0:04:40maybe, but this is the time and we just got it in the right time and
0:04:40 > 0:04:44it's definitely a signature fight for boxing.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47OK, we're going to pose for some photos - if you guys come up.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Just the two fighters please, first.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50- Yeah.- OK.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Face each other first, please, gentlemen.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56CAMERAS CLICK
0:04:58 > 0:04:59OK, thank you, gentlemen.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Good, see you in Cologne.- Be safe.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Picture, please. Thank you so much, man.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Yeah? How's everything going?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Good, man, I love you, man.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Swear down. Swear down.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Are we in a rush? - Little bit of a rush, yeah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I'm a man of the people, bro.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Do it quickly.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27- Where you from?- Watford.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30JOSHUA SQUEALS
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Watford, yeah?- Thank you. - He's a personal photographer, him.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Shall I come the other side?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- ANNOUNCER:- 'Ladies and gentlemen, we present Anthony Joshua.'
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Take care, yeah?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47MUSIC PLAYS
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Born in Watford to Nigerian parents,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Anthony Joshua's teenage life nearly ran off the rails.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58But the boxing gym proved his saviour.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04In 2009, he was held on remand in Reading Gaol.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07By 2012, he'd won gold at the London Olympics.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And his professional career is flying.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh, that right hand...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20The right hand lays him out.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Beautifully timed by Anthony Joshua.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Fucking hell!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28LAUGHTER
0:06:28 > 0:06:30That's what the fuss is about.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Articulate, handsome, explosive,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39the public flocked to see him fight.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44But as his fame grows, his friends help him stay humble.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Eddie Hearn - more than a promoter - he guides AJ's career in the ring.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Pleasure. Absolute pleasure. - He makes the fights happen.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Freddie Cunningham, Anthony's manager.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06Leon Skinner, AKA, Skins, the life and soul of the crew.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Ben Ileyemi, the cousin who introduced Josh to the gym.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17And David, known as KD, or King, Anthony's right-hand man.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Our cameras have been with Anthony Joshua for two years,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31offering an intimate insight into the life of a fighter.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35The journey to Klitschko starts here at the O2 Arena.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40A British title fight against an old foe, Dillian Whyte.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Me and Dillian have got history from 2009.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48We boxed as amateurs and it was my third fight. He was experienced,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51he was a better fighter than me at the time, so he did beat me,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53but he was always talking, like,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57"You may have won your gold medal but just remember that we're waiting
0:07:57 > 0:07:59"round the corner for you when you turn pro."
0:08:00 > 0:08:04And then I would bite back now and again on social media and I think
0:08:04 > 0:08:07it was time to settle it fair and square.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Ladies and gentlemen,
0:08:08 > 0:08:16let's get ready to rumble!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I spoke to you both in the dressing room, you both know what I expect,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21keep it clean, break straight away when told.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Both watch your heads in close, good luck to you both.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Touch gloves.- It's not always going to be clean and clinical,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29sometimes you need to get down and dirty.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31No matter what type of fight it is,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'll stick it out until I can't any more.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- It was about pride. - Seconds out, first round.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And it turned out to be a barnstormer.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'll go and find out.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48He's coming back in now.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Was that all right?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Joshua wants revenge...
0:08:59 > 0:09:02..for that defeat in the amateurs.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04When the bell went, I said, "Come to fight.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- "Come on, let's war." - Joshua sticks his tongue out
0:09:08 > 0:09:11at Whyte. Whyte in survival mode here already.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Talking is not good, it's an adrenaline exit.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20No, I'm just telling him. I said... He threw a jab, I said, "That's shit," he threw a left hook,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I said, "You're going to have to do better than that."
0:09:23 > 0:09:26When me and him come together, it's just a pub fight.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I'm not backing down from no-one.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30BELL RINGS
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That was Joshua hitting after the bell.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Whyte's not having any of it. Whyte's lost control.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Whyte has lost control completely. What is happening here?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Everybody's in the ring.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Are you mad?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50ALL SHOUT
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Hold me back!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00The second round, I got caught. It was my own fault. I tested myself.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- He shook Joshua.- Joshua's hurt. - Joshua's in big trouble.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Massive turnaround here. Whyte going for it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12And you just have to dig deep and find that character within yourself.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I was like... Yeah, yeah, yeah...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17LAUGHTER
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I was like... "Who hit me?"
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- LAUGHTER - I was like, "Shit!"
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Ding, ding, ding! - Thank fuck for that!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Breathing hard again after that body shot.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31He's being dragged into something here.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Every other round...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Bang, oh...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Bang, oh...
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Bruv, I'm telling ya...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Tagged there with a beautiful right-hand counter.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Again, Joshua can't shift him.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I'm hurting him but not enough.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Yeah.- I kept on going, bang, bang.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58So that's why I thought, "Motherfucker."
0:10:58 > 0:11:00So that's why this time I went round that way.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Oh, he's got him. Finally got him. Is this the breakthrough?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I had enough power to hurt him but I was loading up too much.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12And that's learning, that's why you need the rounds.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18There's a grin from Whyte but the legs are betraying him. Down he goes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's stopped. It's over.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I never jump on the ropes and get excited after a win.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25But that fight meant a lot.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I fought Dillian's fight and still beat him.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I really wanted to prove to everyone that no matter what you say,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'm the man to be reckoned with.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04March 2016,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Anthony Joshua is the British heavyweight champion.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12But he still lives at home in his mum's North London flat.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14And after less than three years as a pro,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17an even bigger prize is on the horizon.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22These are the shorts I fought in to compete for the British title.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Not too long, not too baggy, I like them quite classy.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28And the red is like Klitschko.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Klitschko uses red a lot of the time.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35But I went to the Arles exhibition on the weekend and I saw them old-school
0:12:35 > 0:12:38shorts that were, you know, like right up their thighs,
0:12:38 > 0:12:39they was in long robes,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and I've asked my designer to make a robe for me as well,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44because I always do, like, the classical,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47the real old-school style of fighting and so on,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49so I might do something different.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I first started boxing in 2008.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54November 2008, I had my first fight.
0:12:54 > 0:12:582010 was building, fighting.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01'11 I was at the World Championships, Baku,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03a year before the Olympics,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04competing for Great Britain.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09And I managed to secure myself an Olympic qualifier and a silver medal
0:13:09 > 0:13:10in a real tough fight.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16A few months later, you know, I'm representing the country in London.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You know, I haven't been boxing for long,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22it's a bit crazy, but I manage to stand myself on the number-one podium at the Olympics
0:13:22 > 0:13:26and secure the super-heavyweight Olympic championship medal.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32What I done in 2012 has spurred me on to 2016.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'm fighting for the championship belt of the world after 15 pro fights.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39These belts here, as a professional, are leading me to the
0:13:39 > 0:13:41heavyweight championship of the world.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Charles Martin has won the IBF world heavyweight title and chooses to
0:13:47 > 0:13:49fight Joshua next.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Such is Anthony's commercial power,
0:13:52 > 0:13:57the American bucks tradition and agrees to face him in London.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06The winner takes all.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Go.- £15 on the line.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Go.- Let's go.- One, two, three.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Yes!- 'You're only as good as the company you keep.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18'And the company I keep are very motivated people and they keep me in check.'
0:14:23 > 0:14:24LAUGHTER
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Oh, your knee!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50O-o-o-h!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58For heavyweight fighters, there is no upper weight limit.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02No dieting, no nervous moments on the scales.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05The weigh-in is a chance to show the world you're ready.
0:15:05 > 0:15:11Here is the challenger, here is the champion, both undefeated.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Somebody's O has got to go!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The atmosphere this time round feels different.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- It's calm.- There's something different in the air.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Cos we know.- Chilled out.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Preparation has been good.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I can't wait for our boy to handle business.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Stop pulling your hand away, bruv!
0:15:37 > 0:15:39They're meant to be interlocked, bruv.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Today is the day of the IBF heavyweight championship of the world.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I woke up feeling fresh, know what I mean?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Had a great sleep, had a lovely breakfast with me and the boys.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49They're like family to me.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I feel great, I feel loose.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53- What one?- Black one.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Nah. White. 'What we want to do is make it as much as a chill-out as
0:15:57 > 0:16:00'possible, so you're not just sat in your hotel room on your own,
0:16:00 > 0:16:01'locked away in the dark.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06'You know, you just want to have fun, enjoy people's energy.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08'Take it all in, recharge yourself.'
0:16:10 > 0:16:13So I'll wear the white shorts, white boots, with this on top.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14You know what I mean?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Black is dench, white is clean.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23White? Yeah, like when you step out, black - it's a dark place anyway.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26When you step out, it's just, like, "Oh, black, the usual."
0:16:26 > 0:16:29When it's a white long gown and you step out,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32and it's just - come out like an angel, like.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Hands up for black. - Hands up for black.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Hands up for black.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Hands up for white.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Nice, man.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49That's nice.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57CHEERING
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Come on, Josh!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Seconds out, first round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44BELL RINGS
0:17:44 > 0:17:47It's the coming of age of Anthony Joshua.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Joshua always starts fast.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Both of them have got rid of a lot of opponents early.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59There's the right hand from Joshua.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01He senses that Martin felt that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14He got him. Right hand, on the floor,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Martin looks into his corner as if to say, "What on earth was that?"
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Now he's looking at the referee.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27He is drawing a breath here, taking every second he can.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31But Joshua has had him on the floor and there's STILL
0:18:31 > 0:18:331 minute 40 left in this second round.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35And he's down again!
0:18:36 > 0:18:40And Joshua on the brink here, strolls into the corner,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42as if to say, "Job done".
0:18:49 > 0:18:51It's over, done.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Britain has a new world heavyweight champion!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56CHEERING
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Emotions are going everywhere.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Speechless.- I don't even know what to say.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Happy, just happy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13It's crazy. Power, ridiculous.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15We knew Martin weren't going to last that long.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19We were thinking, obviously, round three or four, but round two...
0:19:20 > 0:19:23He just caught him nicely. Too much power, number one, IBF.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31How are you doing, sir? Nice to see you. How are you?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Are you well?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- It was quick, but the weeks of hard work...- It was quick.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38How's things on your side?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- All good.- Good man, good man, good man.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Did you enjoy?- Yeah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Do you come to many boxing events? - No, first time.- First time?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45I came for you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Firstly, we'll have a round of applause
0:20:12 > 0:20:14for the new heavyweight champion of the world.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21IBF heavyweight champion of the world -
0:20:21 > 0:20:23how does that settle on your ears?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26IBF heavyweight champion of the world?
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Quarter of the way there, man.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Nice. All right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Oh, my days, cuz.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07The new champion attracts ever greater media interest.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Anthony joins up with his friend, Watford footballer Troy Deeney,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12for a TV shoot.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14It's time to talk history.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17OK, so everyone's phones are on silent, please.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Everyone's got their phones on silent.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Thank you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23OK.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25OK, and when you're ready. Thanks, guys.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27This was a tribute to Ali, right, if I remember correctly?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- That's right.- I didn't know, it's a little bit of snakeskin.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- You know how we do. - TROY LAUGHS
0:21:32 > 0:21:33These are the actual gloves.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I fought Charles Martin as well, so if you need these,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38these are going for about 500 a pop.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I could give you these for your memorabilia room.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43THEY LAUGH
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Retro, innit? I like it.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- I can see some proper gold there. - Yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It looks like it's been used, it hasn't just been put in a case.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I went to train with the former world champion, Klitschko,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56and he was telling me he put his gold medal
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- in the Ukrainian museum.- OK.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01A lot of people keep it locked away in his personal possessions,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03but he's put his out there, so when people go there from his home town,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06they can see what he achieved and say, "You know what,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08"I want to go on to do what he has," and so on and so forth.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I know what this represents - my good days.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14When I was younger, I was still smoking, I was still partying.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I was getting in trouble, I was having court cases
0:22:17 > 0:22:19and I carried on bricklaying.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21And this was the time when I was thinking,
0:22:21 > 0:22:22"What am I going to do with myself?"
0:22:22 > 0:22:24So, obviously, I found boxing
0:22:24 > 0:22:26cos I was boxing at the time when I was on bail.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I was boxing cos my cousin took me.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I remember once, I got an opportunity to go to Vegas to fight,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- and it was like... I was telling my site manager...- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35"Listen, I'm going to go to Vegas.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37"I'll be back in two weeks. Sweet, I'll see you in two weeks."
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And he was like, "No, you're not here and you're not getting paid,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42"then someone else can come in and take your job,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44"so, listen, you choose what you're going to do,"
0:22:44 > 0:22:46and I ended up going to Vegas.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51The old punching machine, eh?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55There we go.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01797.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Can we just do some keepy-uppies or something like this?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Oh, yeah?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- He got nervous!- I was like, "No!"
0:23:20 > 0:23:21795? I'm happy with that.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I can take a 15% loss to you.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Oh, my!- I think he's broke it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Hey, I actually think he's broke it!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34The world of the champ is changing.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37With fame comes a taste of life in the fast lane.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Right here, we've got some snakeskin leather.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43This ain't no ordinary leather.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47These rugs are imported all the way from Africa, you know,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50straight off a lion's back, so this ain't no ordinary rug,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52so if you don't mind, remove your shoes.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Anthony! Anthony!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57There aren't many household names left in boxing,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01but in a few short years, Anthony's profile has exploded.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06The public, media, brands all want a piece of AJ.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11But it's part of the game and he takes it all in his stride.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14And back to the left, Anthony, please.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Hi, you all right? Nice to meet you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- How's things, mate? - Good, just finished training.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35I was saying to Andy,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37"Mate, we've got a week before the shoot
0:24:37 > 0:24:40"and he's posting pictures of him eating apple pie and ice cream."
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I'm like, "What's going on?"
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- You guys can do all the Photoshop, right? - LAUGHTER
0:24:46 > 0:24:49You can change stuff for me.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52A computer can only do so much, you know what I mean?
0:24:53 > 0:24:58You are the first British man to be on our cover twice within 12 months.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Serious? We're making history.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13If I was a photographer, yeah?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Yeah.- Cos he took some really nice pictures.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19This ain't just for me, this is, like, for boxers after.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21If there was no Ali, there would be no me.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23So it is good to do these things, 100%,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26but it definitely has, like, a good knock-on effect
0:25:26 > 0:25:27in my industry and stuff as well.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29It's not just about me.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Look at that, look at that.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Amazing.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39'Character's important.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41'Being in front of the camera so much,'
0:25:41 > 0:25:44if it's all fake, people will soon figure out.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You know what I mean? So, just be yourself, man.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Amazing! Amazing! Hold it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Look at that, look at that. Magic.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54A few more.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57One more time. Try and keep your legs straight.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59A close-up?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02'I don't find it so bizarre because I'm really tuned in
0:26:02 > 0:26:03'to what they're trying to achieve.'
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Lean back on the wall.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07'These guys are here to do a job.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09'They're catering for what they need, what I need,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12'so I appreciate what they're doing.'
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Thank you, everybody. - APPLAUSE
0:26:19 > 0:26:23The only time it gets a bit hard is if you're tired, that's all.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Other than that, it's good, it's fun.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26This is going to be a tough edit.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29That looks good, too. That's cool.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31That smile, man!
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Such a good guy.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Thank you.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Don't leave him hanging.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40All good.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Did you guys get what you needed?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Just two months after winning the world heavyweight title,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Anthony already has a new fight to promote,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02with a little help from Hollywood star The Rock.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Champ.- What's going on? - Good to see you, brother.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Good to see you. - All right, good to see you.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Champion of the world, big fight coming up.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- June 25th.- June 25th. - First title defence.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- First title defence, right. - Against another American guy.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16What's going to be your strategy for the fight?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I want to share a little bit with you guys.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- I'm not going to share everything, but...- Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Some of the most important tactics of how to defeat Breazeale.- Yeah.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I'm going to have to come in slipping, feinting.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You want to stay off the line so shots can be slipping past you,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30so imagine you throw a jab...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Another jab.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35And then you're in.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37A pleasure, brother. Thank you for having fun.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39God bless you and have a great fight.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Big Showtime partnership, first time in the States.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42He is the man.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- How's things, anyway?- Everything's good, yeah, everything is good.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51It's like...
0:28:00 > 0:28:01- You did?- Yeah, man.- When?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Seven months ago. - Wow, ours is six and a half.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Back to business -
0:28:40 > 0:28:43a first defence of his new title against American Dominic Breazeale.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Two gruelling 12-week training camps back-to-back have taken their toll.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53But in boxing, there are no excuses.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Joshua has a fight to win.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- You're killing me, Doc. - What are you all doing in here?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- AMERICAN ACCENT: - What you got for me, boy?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06You know, I went to Burberry and got some stuff, you know.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07You got some Burberry?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11I bought some Hugo Boss pants.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13LAUGHTER

0:29:18 > 0:29:2011pm - what time you going to be done?
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Man, I will sleep.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Relax.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34That shit crazy.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47That man shows me respect in Sheffield, you know.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I told you, bruv, when you're out of Sheffield...
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Down here, it's a different thing.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Another fight just 12 hours away, but the team keep it light.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- HE RAPS:- When I get shifty, I start biting my nails
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Never been an informer, never told tales
0:29:59 > 0:30:02And I roll with four black males Try to lock us in separate jails
0:30:02 > 0:30:04You ask me should I phone my phone cos...

0:30:12 > 0:30:14He don't want to come around here and get loud
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I'm going to box him right in his mouth
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Dominic come on the stage and I'm like, "Shut your mouth"
0:30:19 > 0:30:21OK, coming around the way

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Ready?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Which way are we going?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Breathe, relax, breathe, breathe, breathe.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48We arrived, it's all chilled out.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49The time goes on.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51We don't get nervous.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Never.- Cool, calm, collected.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56We're ready. The time's going to come,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59we're all going to the KO show.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10It doesn't work.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Ooh, I don't know.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Fold it up and hold it forward.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25No, just one person, isn't it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:26One person holds the belt.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- The whole way?- Yeah.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36'Walking into the arena, I feel chilled,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39'and there's no turning back.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41'I'm just going to walk forward with a smile on my face
0:32:41 > 0:32:44'and not worry about anything.'
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Let's get ready to rumble!
0:32:53 > 0:32:57'The nerves kick in for me when I step in the ring.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59'Every fight can be your last fight.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02'And every fight's a risk.'
0:33:05 > 0:33:09A member of Anthony's entourage films the fight from ringside,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13providing a closer look at the reality of life in the ring.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- CORNERMAN:- Hands up!
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- CORNERMAN:- Yes!
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Yes!
0:33:58 > 0:34:01CHEERING
0:34:22 > 0:34:25CHEERING
0:34:29 > 0:34:32'You train for, like, three months'
0:34:32 > 0:34:33and then I had two weeks off, which was work.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36It weren't even like I was chilling out with the family,
0:34:36 > 0:34:37then straight back in camp.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39So to get Dominic out of there was a relief,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41that I can finally have a bit of rest.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- PHOTOGRAPHERS:- Josh!- Josh!
0:34:47 > 0:34:48'He needs a long rest now.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50'Just go and sit on a beach with his mates'
0:34:50 > 0:34:54and mess around because he's been absolutely relentless.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Fucking hell!
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I've not seen him this happy after a fight,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09not because of his performance, but cos he knows it's over
0:35:09 > 0:35:12and he knows now that he can have his rest
0:35:12 > 0:35:14and it's much, much, much needed.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Time for some fun...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Woohoohoo!
0:35:24 > 0:35:27..Rio-style.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Anthony heads to the Olympics,
0:35:29 > 0:35:32mixing work...with pleasure.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02The best man!
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Anthony and his team have learned from experience
0:36:09 > 0:36:13that rest and relaxation between fights is key.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14But playtime is over
0:36:14 > 0:36:18and the serious business is about to start.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24A second defence of his title...

0:36:41 > 0:36:46- COMMENTARY:- Joshua, like a predator, is going hunting
0:36:46 > 0:36:51and he's going.. Right hand flattens Eric Molina!
0:36:51 > 0:36:54He is slumped in his own corner.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO: - This is a huge fight.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- EDDIE HEARN:- Tonight is as good a time as any to announce what's next.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I'd like to officially announce
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Anthony Joshua against Wladimir Klitschko
0:37:07 > 0:37:09at Wembley Stadium on April the 29th
0:37:09 > 0:37:11for the unified heavyweight championship of the world.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16'I do enjoy the place where I'm at as a challenger
0:37:16 > 0:37:18'because I have to do more,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20'instead of just defending the titles.'
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Do you want to see a big fight?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24CHEERING
0:37:26 > 0:37:27I don't hear you.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29LOUDER CHEERING
0:37:32 > 0:37:34'I just have this one shot,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36'one kill.'
0:37:55 > 0:37:5712 weeks till Klitschko -
0:37:57 > 0:37:59time to head to camp.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03But, first, there's somebody Anthony wants to see.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07This morning, we're here to meet Sean Murphy, a close friend
0:38:07 > 0:38:12and the guy who started me off boxing in 2008.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I know this place like the back of my hand.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16I used to come running round here
0:38:16 > 0:38:18and right now, we've got a little surprise for Sean
0:38:18 > 0:38:20so I'm just heading down to the boxing gym.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27What's up there, Sean?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Are you all right, mate? - I'm tired.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- I can't be too noisy in the day. - Huh?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I'm not a morning person.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35You're up every morning early.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Every morning.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- How are you?- I'm all right.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42I don't know what it was about him.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44He was a very happy-go-lucky sort of fella.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46He was just laughing all the time.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47I thought he was on crack or something.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- ANTHONY LAUGHS - Sean, shut up! Get on the bag!
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Stop talking!
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I would come in here and think it's a social club.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I did my boxing, but I still had a laugh with the boys and that
0:38:57 > 0:38:59and this is where I learned discipline,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01where you have to forget your ego
0:39:01 > 0:39:04and listen to instructions if you want to achieve something.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Sam who's just coming in, Sam Patrick,
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- that was Josh's training partner. - He's seen me in my reckless days
0:39:10 > 0:39:12when I was smoking.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16And then boxing really helped me get on the straight and narrow.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Keep your chin down, mate.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23You know, deep down, I'm a shit boxer, innit?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Deep down, I'm the shit...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29I still ain't got a Scooby-Doo.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I've just been blagging it the whole time.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33Your mum rang me up once.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36I don't know if I've ever told you this or she might have told you.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Do you remember you was coming for a little while?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Yeah.- And then, all of a sudden, you disappeared.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Remember what I said to you?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44"Whatever you are doing, it is not legal.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46"You have got to stop it now.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49"If you want to get serious and you want to box,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- "you have got to stop it now and sort yourself out."- Focus, yeah.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54This is Klitschko.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- That's Klitschko there?- Yeah.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59THEY LAUGH
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I've got something for you in the car, as well, Sean.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Look at that.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- Finchley ABC, Sean... What the fuck, man?- That's your motor.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- This is your life.- Fuck off.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20- I'm serious.- Honestly?
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Yeah, man.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23I'd be scared to drive it.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26There's a little contract on it that you can't sell it in six weeks.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29HE LAUGHS
0:40:29 > 0:40:31I remember Josh saying to me a long time ago, "I'll look after you,"
0:40:31 > 0:40:34but you don't expect it.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Him just winning the world title is enough for me.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Do you know what I mean?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Josh, somebody's going to have to show me how to fucking start it.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46These guys will always have their doors open for me, no matter what.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48What have we got to do with this?
0:40:48 > 0:40:53When it's all said and done I'll never forget who's been there when no-one was.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Forward. Push it forward.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59SEAN LAUGHS
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I can't believe him, man. He's too nice.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Thank you.- Come on, it's all good.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Inside I'm fucking jumping up and down, you know what I mean?
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Don't worry about nothing. This is just something off my own chest. There will be a lot more to come.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Don't worry about that.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16I was fucked before boxing, man.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Trust me, man.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Right, lads, this is Sheffield, innit?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33We've got two sessions back-to-back early.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37I like my rest, so I need to start earlier so I can get back earlier.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40For me, it's now I'm fighting Wlad,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42everything that I've done over the last three years
0:41:42 > 0:41:45has kind of built me up till now.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48I've found out who I am, what I need to do, what works, what don't work,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50and I just put it into action now.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Straight in? - Give yourself a minute?
0:42:07 > 0:42:09No-one tells me what I have to do.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13No-one puts a gun to me saying you have to be a boxer.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16It's my choice.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18HE GROANS
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Five or six?- One more, one more. Six.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22HE GROANS
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Perfect, mate.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Hoo!
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Every morning you wake up, you have to give a bit of yourself to the gym.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33HE GROANS
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Come on, three more.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38This is reality. This is where the hard work gets put in.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Two more, mate. Big squeeze in the back. One more.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Sheffield's where it's at right now.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49No-one disturbs me.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52I've trained at home, it's not a problem, but when I weigh 'em up,
0:42:52 > 0:42:58getting away from home balances out a bit better for my discipline and stuff like that.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02HE GRUNTS
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Going into 2011 is when I came up here.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08A lot of good fighters pass through Sheffield on the amateur system to
0:43:08 > 0:43:12make their journey through to become world champions.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16It's phenomenal. It's a phenomenal place and I wouldn't change it for the world.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18HE GROANS
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Just trying to embrace the hard work and the fun of it.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31I'm done with the complaining.
0:43:31 > 0:43:32It's painful,
0:43:32 > 0:43:35don't get me wrong, but...
0:43:35 > 0:43:38I've got to enjoy it.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41No stresses, no stress.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42HE GROANS
0:43:45 > 0:43:46Rest, well done.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Now you're done.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54So, now...eat, chill out for a bit, half an hour.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58Hour nap and I get back in the gym again.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01Then do some sparring.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09This ain't easy.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11HE LAUGHS
0:44:13 > 0:44:15What's happening, people?
0:44:15 > 0:44:17A day in a life of AJ.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Welcome to the crib.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24This is how we live. Excuse the messy rooms but it's real life.
0:44:24 > 0:44:25Here we have my homeboy,
0:44:25 > 0:44:27King David.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29He comes to camp with me.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31So I've got my food already ready for the day.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34It's just been cooked so I'm letting it cool down.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37Got some beef here, got some pasta,
0:44:37 > 0:44:38got some boiled eggs.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42It's not paradise but I think for me right now when I'm in training
0:44:42 > 0:44:44camp, it keeps my feet on the ground.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I'm just here to do a job and I just need somewhere,
0:44:47 > 0:44:50anywhere to rest my head and this is perfect for me right now.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59If it rains, we are fucked.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02It's a long ring walk, as well.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04It's going to take him four, five minutes, total.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06If it's pouring with rain...
0:45:06 > 0:45:08We go straight down there.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Yeah. Straight from here to the ring.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15The ideal plan is he goes under the stage, comes up.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16You have those flaming letters.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I always think of lasers.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20He doesn't want to do lasers.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21- Really?- No.- They always look good.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23Klitschko doesn't like lasers.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27The core group and the core team has been exactly the same for years now.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29Does he know his music yet?
0:45:29 > 0:45:31See if I can get him on Skype.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35He looked at us, we were 28, 29, 31, the main guys around him.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Everyone looked, going, "You're a bit young."
0:45:38 > 0:45:40And he said, "Yeah, you are, but you guys are going to learn."
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Can you help on Skype for two secs?
0:45:42 > 0:45:45SKYPE RINGTONE
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Mate, you've got to get in shape if you're going to beat Klitschko.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52THEY LAUGH
0:45:52 > 0:45:54I've just got a bit of a tan, mate.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58How's the operation running, guys?
0:45:58 > 0:46:00THEY LAUGH
0:46:00 > 0:46:03I've never seen a man take something in his stride more. Like, anything.
0:46:03 > 0:46:04How's it all going?
0:46:04 > 0:46:07Not too bad. I had a good rest this weekend.
0:46:07 > 0:46:12Listen to this, I was in the gym yesterday and some old guy came up to me and was like, "Oh,
0:46:12 > 0:46:16"I was in Wembley with my wife and your face came across the LED screen."
0:46:16 > 0:46:20And he goes, "You looked like you had seen better days, mate."
0:46:20 > 0:46:22THEY LAUGH
0:46:23 > 0:46:27I swear to you, he said, "That picture don't do you no justice."
0:46:27 > 0:46:28THEY LAUGH
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Change that.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33From the day that we started working with him, just as he turned
0:46:33 > 0:46:36professional, he's the same Anthony Joshua.
0:46:36 > 0:46:37Let's talk about your ring walk music.
0:46:37 > 0:46:38Have you had any thoughts?
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Honest, I haven't.
0:46:40 > 0:46:45The landscape has changed and there are sponsors and there are TV ads but he's the same man.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49The weigh-in could be at Wembley Arena.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51It could be, like, nine or 10,000 people.
0:46:51 > 0:46:57Do we charge £1 entry for charity?
0:46:57 > 0:47:00- If you could do that, that's really good.- There's charities
0:47:00 > 0:47:06- linked to boxing.- Yeah, something like that. Or even if you had a charity box on entry.- Yeah.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09What you see is what you get.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12A hard-working guy who's made it from the bottom all the way to the top.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14I'll take you on a little tour around the crib.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Looks quite nice in there.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19These chairs ain't no ordinary chairs, these are vintage chairs.
0:47:19 > 0:47:20THEY LAUGH
0:47:20 > 0:47:24We talk a lot, generally about rubbish, just laughing.
0:47:24 > 0:47:29But camp is a dark, horrible place and he needs that release sometimes.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Look at it. This is my inspiration right here.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34It's even got "champ" written on it!
0:47:34 > 0:47:36THEY LAUGH
0:47:38 > 0:47:43You can imagine he gets off that call speaking to us and he feels good again, he feels refreshed.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Thank you for your time.
0:47:45 > 0:47:46Peace, see you later.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Bye, all the best.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49See you later, bye.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51God, he's so arrogant, that guy.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Oh, shit, sorry, mate, sorry!
0:47:53 > 0:47:55THEY LAUGH
0:47:57 > 0:47:59See you later.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01You lot...
0:48:01 > 0:48:02INDISTINCT
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- It's a tough fight. - Yeah.- Tough fight.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23This is Klitschko's 29th world title fight.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26This is Anthony Joshua's 19th fight.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39It's the young lion.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42And one of the legends of the heavyweight division.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Can Joshua handle the power?
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Can Joshua deal with the experience?
0:48:50 > 0:48:52Klitschko has been unbelievable.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55Sparring, great footwork, looked really good, fresh, happy.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01That's why, when everybody sits down in their seats at Wembley Stadium,
0:49:01 > 0:49:06when everybody's on their armchair at home waiting for that first bell to ring,
0:49:06 > 0:49:09no-one knows what's going to happen.
0:49:15 > 0:49:16BELL RINGS
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Second session of the day.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Probably get in around ten rounds of sparring.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Nothing tight.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31BELL RINGS
0:49:31 > 0:49:34Too square, Josh. Come on, relax a little bit.
0:49:34 > 0:49:38'I've been out of the ring for a couple of months and then it's like I come in as a complete novice.'
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- Too tight.- 'My timing's out.'
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Legs and feet, balance, upper body.
0:49:45 > 0:49:46Elbows in.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48He's just starting to get his sharpness back,
0:49:48 > 0:49:50he's starting to get a bit of a rhythm back.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53So when you throw a jab or a straight shot, if you fall in or rush it,
0:49:53 > 0:49:55they'll catch you with a hook. Do it again, come on.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59'If it was easy, I'd come in four weeks before my fight and just punch a bag,
0:49:59 > 0:50:01'pads, and I'd be ready, but it's not that simple.'
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Good, and again.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07'Over time at the camp, you start improving and getting it right.'
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Well done, good, good, that was a good a finish, that was.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12By fight time, you just do stuff naturally.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14You'd won't even know that you've slipped that and thrown it.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21Keep on plugging away week in, week out, and by fight week,
0:50:21 > 0:50:22I should be sharp and ready.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25Good, that's a nice shot. And again.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27'Anthony's greatest strength is his belief.'
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Good, nice, now even smoother and sharper.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34He'll go as far as you tell him he could go and he'll give it everything.
0:50:35 > 0:50:40'It's a fascinating fight because Klitschko has been the dominant heavyweight for so long.
0:50:40 > 0:50:45'You could question if he is the force he was after Fury beat him.'
0:50:45 > 0:50:46- Where's my defence?- Sorry.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49'One loss doesn't suddenly make you a bad fighter.'
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Right hand.
0:50:51 > 0:50:52All right, I'll get it.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54'We've seen it time and time again where somebody's
0:50:54 > 0:50:59'had a loss and then came back even better than they were and they'd learned from that.'
0:50:59 > 0:51:00Right hand? Good.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11Do you think that Klitschko is a little bit frightened of this fight?
0:52:11 > 0:52:13No. And he's had a long break.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Maybe it's done him good, maybe it hasn't.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21What are you eating there?
0:52:22 > 0:52:24You're not telling me the secrets.

0:55:50 > 0:55:54Klitschko, which is good for me because, when I beat him,
0:55:54 > 0:55:56there'll be no complaints.
0:56:01 > 0:56:05'This is the most riskiest, most dangerous sport you could ever find
0:56:05 > 0:56:07'and anything could happen.
0:56:07 > 0:56:11'In heavyweight boxing, someone lands a shot, it's all over.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14'It doesn't mean you're not good enough,
0:56:14 > 0:56:16'doesn't mean you've got a weak chin.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18'It's just heavyweight boxing.'
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Feeling all right?
0:56:24 > 0:56:26'It's a lonely sport.
0:56:27 > 0:56:33'It's all good to have a laugh and joke and walk to the ring with 15 people
0:56:33 > 0:56:37'but ultimately everyone steps out and it's just left down to you and your opponent.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40'It's just me and him.'
0:56:41 > 0:56:43'We know he's an elite fighter.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45'Can he go on and be a great?'
0:57:04 > 0:57:06BELL RINGS
0:57:11 > 0:57:16Klitschko is a man who is quite tall, uses his height well,
0:57:16 > 0:57:19dips his chin rather than his whole torso.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22He likes to stay relaxed and manoeuvre his opponent with the left hand,
0:57:22 > 0:57:25like a smokescreen, and he keeps you at bay.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28Stay there, stay there, stay there, bang.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Hoping for the knockout.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32With someone like Klitschko, just stay off the line.
0:57:32 > 0:57:36Little head movement. And off the line, I mean, if there's the line there,
0:57:36 > 0:57:38stay off it. Speed is key.
0:57:38 > 0:57:39Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
