Wladimir Klitschko has raised £160,000 for charity by selling the robe he wore into the ring for his fight against Anthony Joshua in April.

The robe had a USB stick sewn into it that contained his prediction for the fight, and Klitschko said at the time that the only person able to hear it would be the one who bought the robe.

Klitschko lost in the 11th round against Joshua in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

The Ukrainian has since retired from boxing, meaning the loss to Joshua was his final bout as a professional.
