Anthony Joshua knew the Wembley crowd were demanding a crushing knockout victory over Alexander Povetkin.
And the 29-year-old Londoner duly delivered with an epic seventh-round blitz, finishing off the Russian 1min 59secs into it to successfully defend his WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO crowns.
He will now go after a clash with WBC champion Deontay Wilder, or Tyson Fury if, as expected, the pair get it on in December.
But for this week at least he can be seriously delighted with a job very well done against a tough, tough man.
This was Joshua’s second outing at Wembley Stadium after his sellout clash with Wladimir Klistchko here in April last year. – Mirror UK.
