Anthony Joshua successfully defended his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles knocking out Russia’s Alexander Povetkin in a world title fight at Wembley, London Saturday night.
The Nigerian-born British boxer knocked out Povetkin in the seventh round after a shaky start to the bout.
The win was Joshua’s 22nd with 21 of them coming as knockouts.
The 28 year old boxer however admitted that Povetkin was a tough challenger.
“We both did a lot of talking, I’m here now, I had a good fight, have my knockout streak back.”
“There is a lot of pressure the whole country is rooting for us. The energy in here spurs you on and you do feel that pressure, I’m not going to lie. A few years ago maybe I wouldn’t have won the fight.”
Joshua is billed for another fight on the 13th of April 2019.
