Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KO’s) and Anthony Joshua’s (18-0,18 KO’s) fight for the World Boxing Association Heavyweight Super Championship this Saturday at Wembley, is one of the most promising matches of recent years in the category.

The main bout of the card in England will top off a day in which three WBA battles will be carried out.

In addition to the bout between the Ukrainian and the British, Luke Campbell (16-1, 13 KO’s) and Darleys Pérez (33-2-2, 21 KO’s) will fight for the Lightweight Title in an elimination bout for the division title. The intention of the British and the Colombian is the same, to gain the right to fight against the current champion of the body, the Venezuelan Jorge Linares.

On the other hand, the Irish Katie Taylor (4-0, 2 KO), who has gained a great reputation after appearing on big cards this year with excellent performances, will fight for the WBA-International Lightweight Title against the also undefeated German Nina Meinke (5-0, 2 KO).

Meanwhile, the champion of the main fight will win a special version of the Super Championship belt, which features the faces of both fighters and was designed especially for this occasion.
