World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is currently preparing for his September 6 fight with top-rated contender Kubrat Pulev, and has had some help in camp from the United Kingdom's Anthony Joshua, arguably the division's best young prospect.

Joshua (7-0, 7 KO) won the super heavyweight gold medal in 2012, while Klitschko (62-3, 52 KO) won in 1996 in Atlanta.
The 38-year-old Klitschko could be facing a stiff challenge in Pulev (20-0, 11 KO), a skilled, 33-year-old Bulgarian who stands just under 6'5", has a great pedigree of his own, and has dominated in the past when faced with "giants" of the division like Alexander Ustinov and Alexander Dimitrenko. Of course, Ustinov and Dimitrenko are a far sight from Klitschko's talent level, which is why Klitschko is a heavy favorite as usual.
