"AJ and Wladimir were the perfect sportsmen from start to finish showing enormous respect for each other in training camps, at the huge final press conference at Sky HQ, right through fight week, and especially after the dramatic finish."
"The night itself was a huge operation, 90,000 at Wembley broke records and the heavyweight battle was one for the ages. Compelling, thrilling and epic."
