Peter Fury's game-plan...

"It's all about offsetting your opponent," Peter Fury explained. "It's a lot more to it. It's not about what you can do, it's what you can make your opponent do. Everything is astutely looked at."

Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir's older brother who is also no stranger to world championships, knows his sibling has "no second chance" after the Joshua fight.

"My style is the same and I am a Mercedes, so he's not going to try and turn me into a BMW. I am what I am but what he can do is improve it, add new tyres, exhaust pipes, those little slight changes."
