Puts into perspective just how undersized some of Joshua's opposition has been, certainly.

Thanks for putting the picture up mate. Well upper body wise in particular Joshua always looks enormous but Wlad looks the bigger guy in that department aswell. Shame there wasnt a camera there to record the spar for us. Would be an interesting one to watch.

There's also a little interview with AJ on the BoxRecNews youtube channel, recorded on Sunday from Austria.

Thanks for that mate

that's insane, Joshua is some physical specimen but look at the size of Wlads fist, shouder, head??

yes 6"5 to 6"7 and around seventeen stone is the ideal build for a trim condition heavyweight. Anything less is too small anything more and agility and speed tend to suffer.

I think some of it is an optical illusion. Wlad is standing a bit in front of Joshua, and as can happen in some close up photos, objects slightly in front of the camera can appear way bigger. Wlad's head has never looked that big. In that photo it looks like Valuev's bonce

Yeah, but he is standing 6 inches in front and not 6 feet !

I agree with the others - on TV Joshua looks a massive athletic specimen, but next to Wlad he looks like a lad.

x2

Wlad stood a little closer to camera. Taking that into account, they look very similar height / frame.

I once saw a picture of Jake Matlala stood about a foot closer to the camera than Nicolai Valuev and if you didn't know your boxing you'd have sworn blind they were the same size. Honest.

Wlad weighs about 20lbs heavier than Joshua anyway doesn't he? Whys it such a surprise he is big next to him.

Goes to show just how much of a monster Wlad is, Joshua is a big lad.

Good experience for Joshua this... glad he's getting himself out there and doing it also. Will only serve him well.

From Sparring Camp in the Alps



Anthony Joshua, Dorsett Barnwell, Malik Scott, Jonathan Banks and Kevin Johnson.

Looks like Joshua is enjoying the experience there, been one of the Klits tricks to spar the young heavys and get a look at them. A good plan really, sometimes they rush them offering them a title shot because of this.

I'm not saying Joshua would get anywhere near a title shot in the near future , i would think quite a way after Wlad has retired.

He is closer to the camera, but jeez, he looks way bigger than Joshua. Klitschko's a beast.

brilliant stuff from Joshua... will have learnt loads

This was a few year ago, but think about how much bigger big Tyson is off to the pair of them

And how much less talented he is.
