Anthony Joshua has defeated the Bulgarian, Kubrat Pulev, to retain his world heavyweight titles at the SSE Arena, London on Saturday.
Joshua defended his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles during the encounter with a win guaranteeing him a chance to face Tyson Fury in an all-British boxing bout in 2021.
The first round saw both pugilists with lots of single punches, while none of them really managed to get anything special in, but Joshua had the snappier jab. Unbelievable scenes in the third round saw Pulev barely survive a huge AJ onslaught.
Although the Bulgarian came out for the third round more active than he was in the first two rounds, Joshua landed a one-two for the first meaningful shot of the round.
Then Joshua landed uppercut after uppercut to complement his overhand rights, and Pulev was left barely able to survive.
Joshua secured his 22nd knock-out against Pulev, bringing his bout records to 24-1, 22 KOs.
