It does if you have the now tv box, there is a PPV app. I don't think it works if you're on a console.

Big step up for AJ from the bums he's faced.

Depends what Klitchko has left. I like Wlad for this by KO.

Cheers I'll look into it,only have a PS 3 at the moment but it's on the blink anyway, time for an upgrade

Genuine ppv fight which I will happily pay for. Not long after my birthday so may even look into going or drop a few hints for a birthday present

If Klitschko is 70% of what he was he wins this

I'll be buying this one, hopefully the undercard will be suitably stacked.

Did they say anything re tickets

Too much too soon for AJ. Wlad is going to win this. Damn shame.

Announced Wednesday at the press conference

I personally feel that this will be a walk over for Joshua an easy fight against an aging defeated old champion who won't have fought in 16months, klit is to old to be doing this kind of thing, at his age, massive ego and even bigger check for him but does Klit really need it? This fight might not even happen, and Joshua will probably be fighting Stiverne instead.

Eddie mumbled something about Stubhub.

This was the only way to go for AJ. I think he might be getting Wlad at exactly the right time but it's still a dangerous fight. I was surprised at the size difference between the two in the ring last night. Wlad looked old and scrawny in comparison.

The two of em in the ring afterwards was heavy cringe! I was embarrassed for them! Wlad reminded me of Borat when he sang the mock Khazak national anthem!

Two top HW's fighting. No issue with that.

First...know comes a big name in heavyweight for AJ! That's good....
Now he can prove and lay all his abillities on table.

Yes...he proved a lot abillities in his 18 Fights so long, but in my opinion only White was the only Fighter who stands in front of him smiles and "yes..i WANNA fight you!"

I think Klitschko dreams a lot about timemachines...2010...yes this will be better.
Also an Athlete can't close his eyes about age.

His last Fight was 28.11.2015....long long away...

It's a great Fight.
Joshuah will show the world "look...i'm the greatest" and Klitschko will spoil this Wembley party. When Klitschko win over AJ he can retire with head up.
Now...i think AJ will win.

I cant see Joshua winning over any new fans with this fight. If he wins it was against an aging ex-champ who lost his last fight in poor form 16 months ago. If he loses, his rep plummets and Hearn loses his golden boy.

It would be a shame if Wlad lost this and retired after such a dominant career. Not a great finish imo. AJ victory by mid/late ko.

Is it too close to the Haye vs Belles fight ? I didn't think Shy likes ppv this close. Have and Belles can't be pleased.

It's a good fight. But worried Klit might be reticent and a bit shot. Joshua punches harder than Fury but is shorter and less mobile. I would lean towards Joshua because of youth and freshness. I guess Hearn figures he's got Klitschko at the right time and he may be right. I actually want Wladimir to win simply to wipe the smug look off Hearn's red face.

If AJ loses, he doesn't fall off the planet. He'll still be a huge draw.

True, true. But his purses definitely get smaller for a bit.... and Hearn has to be less smug

Finally AJ is gonna fight a real fighter.
