BIG CONGRATS...........Anthony Joshua knocks out Alexander Povetkin to retain world heavyweight title

Alexander Povetkin dodges a punch from Anthony Joshua during the BF, WBA Super, WBO & IBO World Heavyweight Championship title fight
Anthony says........

"I got my knockout streak back"

"Povetkin is a very tough challenger, he proved that tonight with good left hooks and counter punches.

I came in here to have fun, and give it my best,
I knew he was strong to the head but weak to the body. I was just mixing it up.
It could have been seven, maybe nine, maybe 12 rounds to get him out of there. But the ultimate aim was to be victorious
I got my knockout streak back."
