The guy try sha but he called out Tyson Fury, so we see. Beating Wlad doesn't mean he's better, UK media can overhype their own, he should be careful

He rightly called out Tyson Fury
You have to beat the best to be the best.
By going after them he has proved fearless - and that's a strategy

close mouth... na him older bro do am to peters!!

Wald won peter by points!!

this was his first real fight!!

He isn't lucky...

Why didn't peter win Vitali despite him being younger!

Wladimir actually defeated Samuel Peter twice. First fight was by unanimous decision but the second fight in Frankfurt Germany in sept 2010 was by knock out in round 10.

Mr Okon don see pepper for those two brothers hands.

Who go win between this guy and Mayweather

Anthony Joshua is not in the same weight category with Mayweather, so they can't fight each other.

I'm a die hard AJ fan, but to be honest, I was a bit skeptical before the match cos I thought AJ was a bit inexperienced compared to Wladmir, even Lennox Lewis doubted AJ was gonna win. He's won most of his fights based on fitness, but yesterday, homeboy really surprised me. . . He showed everyone he's a combination of fitness and brains. He conserved his energy (they both did) till the latter rounds and then unleashed on bros Klitschko. He almost knocked egbon out cheesy grin. . . Omo komo grin

For the next 10 years, the boy's gon be beating everybody! Big ups Naija blood! cool

What?! are you sure? Aren't you getting way ahead of yourself here? He just beat a 41 year old man. Good for him but stop getting carried away seeing that he struggled to put away an old man that is probably fighting his last fight.

AJ fought well, his youthfulness counted. Let's not forget klitschko is 41 and put up a fight like that. A younger klitschko would have killed AJ in 3 rounds. The fight was an epic one and would go down in history. Congrats to AJ cool

Boxing is not matthematics and age is overrated. People said Ali was too old at 32 when he fought Foreman who was even more fearsome than Tyson at 25 years in 1974. At 25 Foreman had fought 40 professional fights only 3 of which went the distance.
Geore foreman came back at over 45 to knock out Michael Moorer.
He fought Holyfield at 42 and even though he lost on points he gave a good account of himself. Certainly one of the hardest heavyweights ever

Age is not that important for everyone. It depends on so many other things . In the heavier categories boxers can do well into their 40s sometimes

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!!!!!!! Age is everything in sport especially boxing. Klitschko was out there fighting a young buck and father time and if there is anything we have learnt, its that father time is undefeated.

The media shouldn't overhyped Joshua too much, he still has a long way to go. What I wish for him is to surpass the record of Joe Louis, Wladimir Klitschko, Muhammed Ali and co.

W Klitchko took a dive to introduce the new face of the heavyweight division. Now the division has the world' attention again. Mayweather and Paquio of a lower weight division, Kept boxing going for a while now they are old and gone. The heavy weight division in particular and boxing in general must use Joshua to regain prominence. All hail kitchko the saviour of the sport. From now on AJ will attract so much attention and have sold out arenas and the culture of heavy weight boxing wil sure be at the top burner for the next 10yrs. This whole thing started from Tyson fury who the Cabal staged as having taking banned substance to prevent two British Joshua and Fury fighting which wiil attract less attention to giving the last of the old guard Klitchko the opportunity to launch AJ properly and more realistically with this huge global attention it got in Joshua's home country and fans and not Las Vegas. I am happy for AJ and am happy for kltchko for being part of this history.

Exactly , the klitchsko I know couldn't loose his bearings so easily

Also when the ref ended the bout I was surprised Cos he was taking punishment but he wasn't actually being pummeled

Think I'm lying ? Go cheek out his face immediately after the bout !

I really think boxing is dead , no more gutter rats na ajebutter fight dem dey do ...

Mrchippychappy:



19 fights against who? The only respectable fight AJ has had was against WK last night and we all had our hearts in our throat. An ageing 40 something year old knocked down the "new" muhammed ali twice lol. At 22 ALI held the WBA, WBC titles. Guys lets not get caught up in the hype, AJ na body builder and there is a GREAT difference between bodybuilding and boxing. He has no foot work, no athleticism , no body movement. He is very lucky he didn't face the same WK that carried out a facial surgery on Samuel peter 7yrs ago. WK don old finish na.

They even say Deontay Wilder is better.

That 41 year old man was ready to beat him to stupor. He had the experience and he was fitter than most 20 year olds, so you don't have a point. Most of you think being 40 means you're automatically unfit. . . Well... Bash Ali was still fighting in his 50s. . . So stop that thing you're saying.
