By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay Wilder believes that Wladimir Klitschko has a good shot at beating Anthony Joshua tonight to take his IBF heavyweight strap and win the vacant WBA belt as well when the two fighters meet tonight at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) is hoping Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) will win though, because he wants to fight him next in a big unification fight. However, Wilder says his mind tells him that the 41-year-old Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) will win the fight because of his experience and his boxing skills. Wilder’s heart is with the 27-year-old Joshua because of his youth, home advantage and because of what it would mean for him personally if he wins.
