IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is picking IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to come home with the IBO, WBA world titles, when he faces former division ruler Wladimir Klitschko on Sunday morning before a record crowd of 90,000 fans at Wembley in London.

Joshua who won Olympic gold in 2012, is ready to become the next division kingpin, but first he must overcome the experience of Klitschko, who is taking part in his 28th world title fight.

Klitschko has been out of the ring since November 2015, when he suffered an upset twelve round decision loss to Tyson Fury in Germany.

It was the biggest upset of the year, with Klitschko suffered his first defeat after eleven years of dominance.

Attempts to get a rematch with Fury fell through the cracks, with Tyson withdrawing from two scheduled dates and then vacating his titles to deal with his mental health issues.

The fight program starts at 6am Sunday.
