Boxer Anthony Joshua has returned to Wembley for the heavyweight world title unification bout against Alexander Povetkin of Russia.
Povetkin who won Olympic gold in 2004 is the mandatory challenger for the WBA title ‑ but all four of Joshua's divisional belts will also be on the line in London.
The Russian was granted a world title shot after Joshua failed to negotiate a fight with Deontay Wilder.
Povetkin represents a fearsome challenge for Joshua having only tasted defeat once in his career.
That loss came in 2013 against Wladimir Klitschko, who went on to lose against Joshua at Wembley last year.
It is believed that Joshua will earn 20 million pounds and Povetkin 6 million pounds.
The fight is tracking to break the 1.2million pay per view record buys for a boxing event in the UK.
Joshua has called on the British public to support him after he fielded criticism for failure to secure a fight with Deontay Wilder.
The 28‑year‑old also revealed Wembley has been booked out for a potential fight against Wilder or fellow British heavyweight, Tyson Fury.
Joshua says provided he beats Povetkin, 14th April is booked adding Wembley is there ‑ a date and a location ‑ it's just the person who wants to step up and fight him.
The heavyweight clash between Joshua and Povetkin will start soon in Wembley.
