In theory. However klitschkos jab game usually works best on opponents who are at significant height, reach, speed and timing disadvantage. We saw against Fury how klitschko is reluctant to throw anything unless he is sure of a) its going to land and b) there is no chance of being countered.

I think he will be reluctant to throw at joshua because he has an excellent slip and right hand counter, its a one hit ko job.

This fight is very poised stylistically, tough to pick a winner in it. I can easily see klitschko putting out a tentative jab and getting hit with a right hand counter and getting finished. Its tougher to visualize klitscko dancing around the ring pumping an authoratitive jab and joshua not being able to land anything in return. Sure its possible, but i am starting to feel the other scenario is more likely.
