Well done .
The fight was won in the 1st round TBF... Joshua didn't know what hit him, phenomenal shot to the chin.

Boxing is my main sport , won quite a few quid over the years .
Bellew Vs Haye was my biggest , Bellew was 9/2
Lost a few as well but it's a sport worth following with a betting interest

I still like AJ and hope he can come again but that half arsed defence is going to get him hurt. If he’s not going to be focussed then retire…got plenty in the bank and had a really good career, just no need

To be brutally honest about him he's never beaten anyone of note , his victory over Klitschko was against a spent former champ .
For me the writing was on the wall when he fought Dillian Whyte and especially against Andy Ruiz .
He's been an entertaining boxer to follow but I wouldn't rank him higher than Bruno who consistently fought the best

As I say, I like him. Just found wanting at the elite level…and can be wobbled badly around the temple (so is far better when keeping hands high reckless tonight again)

I like him , he's a good story for the good of boxing and how it can turn lives round . He's charismatic and engaging and has been a great role model , especially in today's society

Saudi national anthem was strange.

Joshua sticking his tongue out and being weird before getting sparked out was random.

It was really odd having the Saudi national anthem sung before the boxing...mind you it was much easier on the ears than having to sit through Liam Gallagher's attempt at singing in the pre fight entertainment.

Yeah-especially when he told people not to buy anything from a white persons shop.

I don’t want to say that Whittaker might’ve taken an ‘out’ without knowing what the injury is but hard to see how he injured his leg that bad

His knee hit the edge of the ring so it could be ligament, but can't see how it's his ankle at all

Wardley v Clark didn’t really live up to the billing. Good victory for Wardley though in the first.

Can we just acknowledge though what a class fight by two class fighters.

No trash talk or playground antics before the fight, no holding, no low blows and just clean boxing in the fight and then respect from both fighters at the end.
