6:31 pm
london we might see 18 on saturday afternoon. an awful start to the weekend across northern spain and france, heavy rain and snow over the alps but it stays right across the british isles, it has been a dry april and we keep that breeze going through sunday but with the strengthening wind it will hopefully continue to break up the cloud, potentially more sunshine on sunday, with the exception of the far north—east of scotland and temperatures are likely to peak at 18 degrees. my garden is starting to get a bit desperate and there is no significant rain forecast to close out april but has a wind direction changes to wind northerly, it get colder.

6:34 pm
fierce competitors. in the at stake on saturday night. as the biggest event european boxing history and also the first time it will contest the heavyweight title for some 30 odd years. the next lewis was involved in the about and defeated frank bruno in cardiff and told me the magnitude of this fight. it’s a the magnitude of this fight. it's a bi thin the magnitude of this fight. it's a big thing for— the magnitude of this fight. it's a big thing for british _ the magnitude of this fight. it's a big thing for british boxing. last time _ big thing for british boxing. last time i_ big thing for british boxing. last time i boxed frank bruno, it was an outdoor_ time i boxed frank bruno, it was an outdoor stadium and the roar of the cloud, _ outdoor stadium and the roar of the cloud, is_ outdoor stadium and the roar of the cloud, is to — outdoor stadium and the roar of the cloud, is to remember that. and now, were going _ cloud, is to remember that. and now, were going to— cloud, is to remember that. and now, were going to get it again with even more _ were going to get it again with even more people in wembley. this is going _ more people in wembley. this is going to — more people in wembley. this is going to be incredible. gn more people in wembley. this is going to be incredible.— going to be incredible. on that occasion. _ going to be incredible. on that occasion. he — going to be incredible. on that occasion, he chose _ going to be incredible. on that occasion, he chose to - going to be incredible. on that occasion, he chose to trade i going to be incredible. on that - occasion, he chose to trade punches, presses slimmer, lighter furey is going to allude to the strategies you he will use. they have trained
6:35 pm
together in the early 20s and it's an interesting clash of styles as well. a lot is at stake for both men, when this fight each above and the possibility of facing the winner of the rematch with anthonyjoshua. and alexander. so, we are all set, for fury/whyte, let's get a fighter�*s perspective, former world champion karl froch. joins us live from our london newsroom. a lot of respect between these two, how do you see this going? well, it is different to see tyson fury, not going over the top of his mind games. try to get inside his opponents had really goes for it and take centre stage and makes a lot of noise and he tends to have a few jokes we seen antics with tyson fury in the past. belts are everywhere come out as batman and being over the top it's all a part of his character and his mind games. to not see any of that for me was a little
6:36 pm
bit, is he not taking the fight to seriously? i don't think so, he's trained well for it. but, it's a different strategy, maybe he's getting a little long in the tooth. he stopped by may be retiring after this, potentially this being his last fight which is not always a good thing when fighters are talking about retirement. i think he's relaxed, nevera about retirement. i think he's relaxed, never a need for animosity, i think it's one of them where he's just thinking to himself, i'm going to win, but i'm going to play it like may the best man win. and in his head, he thinks he's got this. talking but head—to—head, when absolute monster tyson fury is, the height, the reach advantage so going to be key in the fight? he height, the reach advantage so going to be key in the fight?— to be key in the fight? i've been tellin: to be key in the fight? i've been telling peeple — to be key in the fight? i've been telling people that _ to be key in the fight? i've been telling people that height - to be key in the fight? i've been telling people that height and i to be key in the fight? i've been - telling people that height and reach such a big in boxing and six foot nine, and we you have that breach in a sport or you can hit your opponent because he can't reach you, it's a
6:37 pm
massive advantage. i know mike tyson is not huge in terms of height but he was a big heavy man and as an example of some is probably not so tall, but was still ferocious. testing theories height and reach will be a massive factor in this fight and he will use that to keep him out of reach for the first of the fight —— tyson fury. we him out of reach for the first of the fight -- tyson fury. we want this unification _ the fight -- tyson fury. we want this unification to _ the fight -- tyson fury. we want this unification to go _ the fight -- tyson fury. we want this unification to go ahead. - the fight -- tyson fury. we want this unification to go ahead. it i this unification to go ahead. it is so complex but if he does go out, will be similar to how you went out, your last fight was also at wembley and by the cherub that was. 80,000, you had. this could be a record 94,000. he you had. this could be a record 911,000. hejust described you had. this could be a record 911,000. he just described the atmosphere there were probably going to get there tomorrow night? 80,000? i didn't to get there tomorrow night? 80,000? i didn't realise — to get there tomorrow night? 80,000? i didn't realise is _ to get there tomorrow night? 80,000? i didn't realise is that _ to get there tomorrow night? 80,000? i didn't realise is that many. _ to get there tomorrow night? 80,000? i didn't realise is that many. i _ i didn't realise is that many. i don't mention it much. yeah, listen, you feel the nerves and the tension, you feel the nerves and the tension, you have a look around the arena and you have a look around the arena and you can feel the noise and you know you're in a big event and you know
6:38 pm
you're in a big event and you know you're in a big event and you know you're in the stadium because the noise is different. it dissipates into the air and boxes of the roof into the air and boxes of the roof into sounds like a stadium but this is the first bell goes, none of it matters. it never did to me and most fight is a speech, since the bell goes, you be in a small room because you have the light shining down on you, you left the ropes around you and the perimeter of the ring to scheming you and lock with your opponent and the referee and the noise is gone and it's all about taking care of business and all that action. on the ring well, it will be in his head and have a look around, both to be taking their little moment and on the ring announcement, since the bell goes, it all goes out the window and it's a boxing match, its a fight at the end of the day. away from the fight, a lot of talk in the build—up has surrounded daniel kinahan and his links to boxing. the irishman has been sanctioned by us authorities
