Joshua picked the perfect time to take on Klitschko - Lennox Lewis

Former World heavyweight boxer, Lennox Lewis feels Anthony Joshua has picked the perfect time to take on Wladimir Klitschko ahead of Sunday's heavyweight bout at Wembley.

Joshua will be defending his IBF belt against Klitschko, and Lewis believes the 41‑year‑old, despite his experience, goes into the fight looking "beatable".

Lewis had three reigns as heavyweight champion, dating from 1992 to 2004 when he announced his retirement the best part of a year after beating Klitschko's brother Vitali to retain his WBC title.

And Lewis is unsure whether Klitschko can come back to trouble Joshua almost 18 months after his last fight, when he lost his WBA 'Super', IBF and WBO belts to Tyson Fury.

Lewis says Joshua is big, powerful and strong.

Right now any time he steps into the ring he can knock anyone out.

Meanwhile 27-year-old British boxer, Anthony Joshua has told his mother she is not allowed to attend Wembley Stadium this weekend.

He has also barred her from watching the fight on TV, and she will be informed of the outcome via a telephone call.

His father Robert will be among the 90,000 at the stadium but mum Yeta Odusanya will be at home in north London.

The fight program starts at 6am Sunday.
