Anthony Joshua knocks out Povetkin

Anthony Joshua, British boxer, has beaten his mandatory
challenger, Russia’s Alexander Povetkin by a knockout in the
seventh round, to keep hold of the WBA, (Super) IBF, WBO and IBO
belts.

Joshua born by Nigerian parents, beat the Russian at the Wembley
Stadium on Saturday night, to hand the Russian, his first knockout
defeat in his professional boxing career.

Joshua was very brutal punching Povetkin in the closing rounds,
although Jovetkin got the better of him in the earlier rounds.

After two slower opening rounds, Joshua found his range in that
fight.

And it was a series of accurate combinations which did it in the
seventh round, first with an overhand right and then some big
lefts.

His win has improved his professional career to 22 fights
unbeaten, 21 of the fights by knockout.

Joshua is expected to earn £20 million and Povetkin £6
million.
