The Nigeria Born Anthony Joshua Knocks Out Klitchoko at 11 Rounds
The fighters embrace in the center of the ring as Michael Buffer makes the official announcement: Joshua by knockout at 2:25 of the 11th round. “I’m not perfect but I’m trying,” says Joshua, who follows with a series of gracious words for the fallen Klitschko. What a night.
The 27-year-old has retained the IBF’s version of the heavyweight title while adding the vacant WBA strap. He’s now 19-0 with all 19 victories by stoppage.
Anthony Joshua knocks out Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round!
Joshua looks to blitz Klitschko from the opening bell of the 11th and Klitschko is down! An uppercut! Klitschko is hurt! Joshua looks to finish the job and sends Klitschko crashing to the canvas again. Klitschko down a second time in the 11th! Klitschko beats the count but Joshua comes in for the finish, Klitschko buckling under a flurry of punches and the referee intervenes! It’s over!
Round 10 (Joshua 9-10 Klitschko)
Another good combo by Joshua to open the 10th. Lots of jabs from both men. Klitschko still looks fresh but Joshua’s shown him a new look and he hasn’t quite figured it out yet. A very close round. Too close to call. I think Klitschko may have nicked it, certainly helped by the right that landed right at the bell.
Guardian’s unofficial score: Joshua 9-10 Klitschko (Joshua 94-94 Klitschko)
