"I Got My Knockout Streak Back" Says Anthony Joshua As He Beats Alexander Povetkin To Retain World Heavyweight Titles

Anthony Joshua has proven it once again that he remains the man to beat for anyone by knocking out Russian fighter Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
The Russian who has only lost once in the square box, stood no chance but to be knocked out by the Briton when he caught him off guard with his right hand and followed that with his left hook.
Povetkin could not recover from weights of AJ's punches and staggered on only to slump on the ring, leaving the referee with the option of calling off the fight.
Meanwhile, in the first round, Joshua suffered a dirty blow to the head from Russian which left his nose bleeding. That fuelled the determination from the London-based fighter to bring his challenger down with a knockout and he soon did.

"Povetkin is a very tough challenger," said Joshua in admission "he proved that with good left hooks and counter punches."
"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, may 12 rounds to get him out of there, but the ultimate aim was to be victorious, and I got my knockout streak back," he said after he defeated Povetkin to maintain his unbeaten run in 21 outings.
Having won the fight, the British fighter retained his world heavyweight titles IBF, WBA and WBA, and will return to training to prepare for a challenge from an American fighter Deontay Wilder in April next year.
