Sky Sports Box Office has brought out their biggest gun as Anthony Joshua will be present for Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin.
Joshua joins Natasha Jonas and Tony Bellew on the analyst team for Whyte vs Povetkin and Katie Taylor vs Delfine Persoon 2.
Britain’s unified world champion will be ringside to watch his heavyweight rival Whyte battle Povetkin this Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Irish star Taylor also takes on Persoon in a World Title rematch in the finale of Fight Camp.
Joshua is relishing the opportunity to watch Taylor. The lightweight ruler is a fellow gold medallist at the London 2012 Olympics.
“I really respect her,” Joshua told Sky Sports. “She is phenomenal. She’s someone I sit back quietly and learn from.
“She is a real-life athlete. I am more reckless. I take inspiration from her. She is a dedicated athlete.”
The Sky Sports Box Office team of experts also includes Jonas. The Liverpudlian came within touching distance of a world title when she battled to a thrilling draw with Terri Harper in the second week of Fight Camp.
“The girls are leading the way in Fight Camp,” said Jonas. “I’m most looking forward to the Taylor fight.
“I think Taylor has got a point to prove this time, so she’ll be looking to make a statement.
“Anyone around my weight class is someone I’ve always got my eye on. You’ve got to look at them from a tactical point of view. I’ll be looking for weaknesses.”
Bellew, who twice toppled David Haye at the top weight class, will also supply analysis and opinion with Adam Smith, Anna Woolhouse, Johnny Nelson, and Matthew Macklin.
“I can’t wait to see Whyte vs Povetkin and Taylor vs Persoon 2,” said Bellew. “A fantastic night of fights. It’s going to be exciting from start to finish.
“Povetkin doesn’t know any other way than to meet fire with fire. Whyte, he fights anyone. He gets stuck in from the word go.
“Whyte is a vicious counter puncher and I just expect an explosive fight from the word go.”
