Some of the biggest names in boxing were out to watch Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko fight at Wembley, along with famous faces from the world of sport and showbiz.
Front and centre in the crowd was Hollywood actress Hayden Panettiere, who had a stronger vested interest than most.
While
most of the 90,000 in the English national stadium were on the side of
Joshua, Panettiere was backing Klitschko - her partner and father of her
daughter.
