Details of Wladimir Klitschko’s pre-fight prediction for Anthony Joshua bout finally revealed

Wladimir Klitschko wanted his pre-fight prediction to remain confidential.

Prior the last bout of Klitschko's career, a war at Wembley against Anthony Joshua, the Ukrainian legend laid out how he expected the contest to go down. Klitschko recorded himself predicting the outcome of the fight, which ended when 'AJ' stopped him in the 11th round last April, and put it on a USB stick. "I’m not Nostradamus but I recorded a video of my prediction of the fight. This stick is going to be in my robe which I’m going to wear on Saturday night," Klitschko said in his final press conference ahead of the fight. "Do not ask me after the fight what is on the stick. The only person who is going to be able to open it up and watch it is the person who is going to buy the robe with the stick. The money will go to the Klitschko foundation." The USB was sewn into the robe he wore to the ring and was ultimately auctioned off for £160,000 before Christmas. https://twitter.com/Klitschko/status/941259069989498880?tfw_creator=DarrMurphy&tfw_site=JOE_co_uk&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fwladimir-klitschkos-pre-fight-prediction-for-aj-fight-has-been-auctioned-off-153069 The buyer of the robe remains unknown but Joshua was recently told what Klitschko had predicted. Speaking on the BBC documentary Joshua v Klitschko: Return to Wembley, Joshua revealed: "Klitschko said: ‘I will gas out, I will try to knock him out and as I come rushing in he’ll catch me with a right hand and knock me clean out’. "He [Klitschko] sounded like Mystic Meg, because some of those predictions came true." Joshua ran out of energy at the midway point of the bout but memorably found a second wind and forced the finish with some furious flurries on Klitschko, who subsequently hung up his gloves.
