Episode 843: Andy Lee on Klitschko V Joshua, Jose’s Mind Trick, Steve Gerrard’s Spotlight
It’s the biggest heavyweight fight in years, and it’s already sold out Wembley Stadium – Anthony Joshua takes on Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night, and we look ahead to the action with our very own Andy Lee.
These two men straight up get along, confusing the punters by refusing to debase themselves and their sport in the build up. Other boxing tropes have been adhered to however, including the huge contrast in their training camps; Joshua has opted for the ultra scientific British Institute of Sport, while Klitschko has prepared for the fight in his “Overlook Hotel” style base in Stranglwirt, Austria.
But having sparred with Wladimir Klitschko, and having been friends with him for years, Andy still reckons the older man has something to offer. He gives us an unbelievable insight in to the mind of one of the great heavyweight fighters of this era.
