SO, WHO WILL WIN? THE EXPERTS HAVE THEIR SAY...

RICKY HATTON TWO-WEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION

Povetkin is dangerous but Joshua is superior in every department. He has to watch out for that powerful left hook but I can’t see anything other than a Joshua win. JOSHUA by KO

DILLIAN WHYTE HEAVYWEIGHT CONTENDER

Povetkin has a good left hook but he’s quite short. Joshua is aggressive, has combinations — he will stop him in the first six rounds. JOSHUA by KO

GEORGE GROVES WBA SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION

Joshua will have a couple of twitchy moments. There has been something about this week that hasn’t felt right, maybe something is in the air, and Povetkin will cause problems. But I do think Joshua will stop him, possibly in the first half of the fight. JOSHUA by KO

JAMES DeGALE TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION

It’s an intriguing and difficult fight. I have watched a lot of Povetkin and he is a hard puncher to head and body. He will want to catch Joshua coming in, so Joshua has to be very careful. Joshua to win in the late rounds. JOSHUA by KO
