of the biggest boxing bouts of recent times when britain's anthonyjoshua, the olympic champion, takes on ukraine's wladimir klitschko at wembley stadium. our sports editor, dan roan, has been watching anthony joshua's preparations. there's some flash photography in his report. final preparations for the fight of his life. regarded as the man heavyweight box's been crying out for, anthonyjoshua is on the verge of becoming the sports biggest star. and, having granted us access to his training camp... how are you doing, bro? ..he told me just what it takes to become a champion. i've broken my ribs before, my hand. you know, i've dislocated shoulders and stuff in the gym, but we get it right for the fight. the coach's try to reveal your potential and then it becomes a bit of an ordeal because they start pushing you to places that you've never been before. this is a new level, is it, for you? just a whole new level, completely. especially with the type of fight we're in as well. joshua has come a long way in a short space of time. london 2012 olympic champion, since turning professional he's

unbeaten and now stands to earn in excess of £10 million from saturday's showdown. so has fame and fortune changed him? i'm in the same flat that i've been in since in 2011. so far, the simple life has worked. where we grew up, everyone was about making money, when we were young, but it was about being low—key. understated. probably didn't want to get your house burgled, do you now know what i mean? but life hasn't always been trouble—free. joshua's brushes with the law as a teenager, growing up in a tough part of london, are portrayed in a new advertising campaign which charts his rise to the top. it's just mistakes. what people can relate to is life, journeys and what people go through. everyone goes through different struggles, so i'm just showing mine and it can connect to a certain group of people and it got across my message. this is the kind of preparation and dedication that's taken anthonyjoshua to the brink of sporting superstardom and he knows that if he can now win the biggest fight of his career, he'll go to a whole new level altogether. high in the austrian mountains, the man who stands injoshua's way is completing his build—up. for a decade, 41—year—old ukrainian, wladimir klitschko, dominated

the heavyweight division, but after losing his last fight says he's obsessed with victory. now i have a chance against young man, very ambitious, very athletic and a newcomer, a new star in boxing and heavyweight division. biggest stage they've ever had. the respectful build—up to this fight contrasts starkly with the antics, the trash talk and the brawls that have frequently brought boxing into disrepute. it's needed now and again, but it's got to be real because i don't take boxing as an act. this isn't like an act for me, this is a way of expressing myself and being true to myself. joshua's wasted little time in his road to the top. too good to be true, we're about to find out. dan roan, bbc news, sheffield. newsnight is coming up on bbc two,

fighting and we are ready to fight from now until the end. we finished with good quality, and to prepare for the next season, we have the second youngest team in the table and it's important to prepare for the next season. huddersfield are guaranteed a place in the championship play—offs for the first time in their history. david wagner's side beat wolves 1—0 at molineux tonight to go third in the table with two games remaining. reading, sheffield wednesday and fulham are the other teams currently in the play—off places. england and wales will meet in the qualifying tournament for the 2019 women's world cup after they were drawn together in their group today. northern ireland and the republic of ireland are also together in a group including norway and the netherlands

who i am from when i was 17 is who i am today so not much has changed. durham fast bowler mark wood has been recalled by england for their one day matches with ireland and south africa. as well as the subsequent icc champions trophy. wood has been recovering from the latest of three ankle operations as well as a recent groin injury. he's ina he's in a really good place, building nicely, and hopefully he will get even more his belt. a few games for durham. he does bring that x factor, anyone who can bowl at 90 mph in the middle of a white innings will have that impact and he's shown that in the past so we are lucky to have that quality bowler. england test captainjoe root is a part of the squad — still more than two months before his first match in charge of his country in the longer format of the game. today, he's been on a trip down memory lane to his old primary school in sheffield. as you can imagine, the children were thrilled to see him. 0ur correspondentjoe wilson went along.

far too much time spent in this classroom. i spent most of my time looking out of the window wanting to play football or cricket. generations of children have felt the same. where will daydreaming of being england captain get you? in the old corridors and classrooms, joe root was reunited today with his former headteacher, who recalls a well mannered pupil. temperament wise, you ask any of the teachers, i have spoken to a few this week and they said he was just a really good lad. he works hard and makes good decisions, a good recipe for an england captain. michael came here as well. michael vaughan, england captain. michael came here as well. michaelvaughan, yes. i think it isjust coincidence to be

honest, but coming back now and seeing so many kids getting involved, the opportunity was there for me and it's great to see it still happening. this coaching session has been organised by the chance to shine charity, which has been working for over a decade in engaging people like this. for every young person in yorkshire, is in the dream always to be england captain? we see how we will be able to play against other teams and might be able to show what they can do, and maybe try to get the next england captain. it could be you! yes. one step at a time. joe wilson, bbc news. british number three dan evans is through to the third round of the barcelona 0pen.
