Wladimir Klitschko intensified his mind games with Anthony Joshua ahead of Saturday's world heavyweight title fight by revealing he has already recorded his prediction of the outcome.
The challenger, 41, brandished a memory stick which he said contained a video of his prediction at his press conference in London, and said the stick would be sealed in the robe he will wear into the ring at Wembley Stadium.
He bids to become a three-time world champion by claiming Joshua's IBF title and the WBA belt last held by his conqueror Tyson Fury, but despite repeatedly stating his respect for his opponent, he finally attempted to unnerve him.
At Wednesday evening's public workouts at Wembley Arena there were suggestions Klitschko deliberately finished late to ensure Joshua would be waiting to start his.
There is also a belief that he has remained so respectful towards the 27-year-old in an attempt to soften his edge before the two finally enter the ring.
Holding up a memory stick at Thursday's press conference, Klitschko said: " I recorded a video last week, and the outcome of the fight.
"My prediction, so to say. This (memory stick) is going to be in my robe, which I'm going to where this Saturday night, sealed."
