Mike and Steve discuss their career trajectory going into this fight, and speak to both men. Also, Manny Pacquiao is in action in his 70th professional contest this weekend against Adrien Broner, could he add another victory to his already incredible record?

Will Anthony Joshua fight Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder - or both?
