Wladimir Klitschko reveals his five steps to heaven

Wladimir Klitschko has revealed the “five-step plan” he believes will re-establish him as the world’s leading heavyweight when he meets Anthony Joshua in what the Ukrainian is calling his “signature” fight.

The 40-year-old hopes to regain two of the titles he lost to Tyson Fury when he challenges IBF champion Joshua at Wembley on April 29, when the vacant WBA title will also be contested.

He has often been dismissed as in decline since that shock defeat by Fury in 2015, but is adamant the fact he has not fought since then will be to his advantage on an occasion expected to attract a post-war British record boxing crowd of 90,000 fans.
