Very good but AJ needs to improve tremendously if he want to keep those belts

I agree, I am a little uncomfortable when watching him , find AJ a little clumsy.

I get the feeling he can easily be knocked out.

Needs to horne his boxing skills.

So far so good, wish him all the best .

He should fight either Wilder or Fury to prove his mettle.

obembet:
Brtish-born Nigerian heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua on Saturday night retained his IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA titles after a seventh round stoppage of Russian WBA mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin at the Wembley Stadium in London.

The champion, whose both parents come from Sagamu in Ogun State, dropped Povetkin with a brutal assault in the seventh round and then floored the WBA mandatory challenger again to signal a sudden and dramatic ending to his title defence.

The win, which was watched by an estimated 80,000 fans at Wembley, has thus set the tone for a unification fight in 2019 between Joshua and the winner of the coming bout between British Tyson Fury and American Deontay Wilder, which has been set for December.

The fight had a reported £26m purse with Joshua expected to take home up to £20m while Povetkin will receive £6m.
Povetkin, 39, has thus lost his second fight on his 36th fight. His previous loss came against Vladimir Klitschko in 2013 through unanimous decision. Saturday’s loss was the first time Povetkin would be knocked out in his career.

Povetkin showed early signs of danger by making Joshua stumble in the first round with a wicked left hook before blood poured out of the nose of the champion but Joshua started to dictate the pace as the rounds went on before going on to overpower and knock Povetkin down to the canvas twice in the seventh round.

Joshua praised the Russian challenger, saying the fight was tough but he was happy to achieve his goal.
“First and foremost, everyone here in Wembley, thank you so much! Alexander Povetkin is a very tough challenger and he proved that tonight but I came in here to have fun, do what I’ve been working on in the gym and I did that. I knew he was weak to the head, it could have took seven, nine maybe 10 but all my goal tonight was to be successful,” he told Sky Sports.

“These shorter guys are very good coming through the middle but let’s see what happens now on April 13. There is a lot of pressure; I’m not going to lie to you guys. The whole country is rooting for not just me but David Price, Lawrence Okolie, Matty Askin, Luke Campbell, all of us. A few years ago maybe I wouldn’t have won that fight but that’s credit to all my coaching team.

“It’s about developing and I am in this game to win it and to learn. I’m not too fussed who wins. Good luck to both of them and may the champion bring themselves to the UK and we will have a good dust up.”

Congratulations to Josh, but I must say Joshua was too cautious against povetkin almost to his detriment but in the end he got the job done,certainly its going to be a different ball game against wielder,wielder is not a patient fighter but rather a brave brutal fighter that keeps coming at you relentlessly, he is got enormous strength too, his notable weak point is his lack of punch accuracy, Joshua will need to bring out the tiger n lion in him to handle wielder, he will need to stand up to wielder as there will not be any breathing space,with the endurance n perseverance Joshua has shown couple with his good techniques n punch accuracy,all he needs is the lion heart,well I'm hopeful because Joshua analysed povetkin well during one of his pre fight interview n I'm sure his team will also do a good job on wielder so that at the end, the vociferous boastful American will be shut up for once.

Anthony Joshua Vs Povetkin Knockout Highlights 2018 HD
Povetkin had a good fight with AJ,
I saw small flashes of the way Mike Tyson fights, in how Povetkin fought last night though.
Povetkin, a bit, reminded me of how Mike Tyson fought when he was invincible and terrorising
Remember the Mike Tyson & Trevor Berbick fight. Phew!

AJs strong foot is ability to take punches. A lot of analysts ignore this when analyzing a fighter. A complete fighter must have the ability to take punches and stand firm, at the same time hit hard when it matters most.

Deontay Wilder is a clumsy fighter and if he can hit AJ the hardest and he stands his ground, he better watch out for AJs accurate right punches because that is his greatest advantage.

AJ vs Wilder is going to be a match between a dirty fighter that can overwhelm a boxer and a boxer(AJ) that can take accurate damaging shots when the opportunity opens up. So long as AJ can keep his composure and wear out wilder, the Alabama Black Bear will cave in time. Besides, Wilder doesn't fight with a great composure, he is too much in a hurry to get the job done.

AJ is more than a job. He is a herculean task

Not true bro! If you say the guy didn’t get the help of enhancement drugs; maybe and maybe not.

This fight was about the toughest Joshua ever had, and that’s why the level of preparation Joshua had to subject himself to; a huge step up. Usually, when you prepare well, an exam begins to look too cheap; especially if everything works in your favor.

The way I see it Povetkin meant to cause an upset, hence risking it all to take down Joshua early. A part of that risk cost Povetkin the knockout.

Kudos to the champion!

Legend destroyer.... I think it's high time he fights young blood.... Povetkin is a Lil bit too old for him.... Wilder will be a step ahead

Naturally this guy is very strong I'm not saying they can't beat him but he is a very strong guy. Kudos bro you are super doing us great. Keep the spirit high we are behind you solidly.

you are right. His enduring ability to much pain till his opponent is weary then throwing the ultimate punch is his gameplan always.

but he doesnt need to get to round 7 to do that. If he meets and enduring fighter like him, its trouble for him. he needs to learn to round fights as quick as possible. if possible the first round sef. that way, he preserves himself cos all these punch he dey absorb, hope he understands the impact at older ages

A very Dull fight.....i will respect AJ when he knocks out deotney wilder..

AJ's is product of an organized and we'll developed country with good sports infrastructure ... Nigeria should stop claiming him.
I'm with you on this one
The only fight I want to see right now is deontey Vs Joshua.
My opinion deontey punches holds so much power that even with guide the impact is fetal.
The real definition of ko can be seen In deonteys wilder knockouts.
