ANTHONY JOSHUA vs DEONTAY WILDER

Who wins this clash of unbeaten world heavyweigh­t champs?

-

SIMON HARRISON

Either has the power to do the job but Joshua hits harder and has marginally better movement. The big question is can Joshua keep punching into the later rounds; his engine isn’t the best.

SHANE CROWE

Two swinging haymakers from Wilder and that will be it. I’m British but let’s be honest, Joshua is puffing after five rounds.

PATRICK MINOGUE

Would have thought Joshua but am unsure now. Joshua is the more polished fighter but Wilder is far more aggressive and a risk-taker. Joshua can get caught and hurt, Wilder might not let him off the hook.

SEAN RICKARDS

Joshua can’t come into that fight at 250lbs because he gets winded and those muscles get heavy. That said, I’d take him because of his better skills. Wilder gets carried away and swings wildly.

AARON D. SIEMERS

One of those fights where whoever lands clean first wins. Both can crack but Wilder is more athletic. Joshua needs to lose some bulk.

AKEEM KADRI

Joshua. Despite fewer fights he is more experience­d on the biggest stage.
