Klitschko was in a mischievous mood when they met for the first time in three months, but Joshua made it quite clear what he is expecting.

"This fight could be easy - I could go in there and catch Wladimir and 'boom!'" he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"He could suddenly be wobbling and then I take him out.

Joshua also laughed off the revelation that Klitschko will be carrying his prediction in a USB tucked inside his robe on Saturday night.

'AJ' pointed out that he has "been there before" in the shape of Kevin Johnson, who he knocked out in less than five minutes back in May 2015.

"It took me back to the time when I fought Johnson," he said.

Trainer Robert McCracken says they've worked to 'tidy up' Joshua's weaknesses before Saturday's Wembley fight

"He was at the press conference, and said 'I'm going to have a book, man, explaining how to beat Anthony Joshua.'

"It obviously wasn't ever released because he got knocked out!

"But it took me back to the strategy of how people can try and get into your head. Luckily, I've been there before. I can go to the trenches."
