Anthony Joshua won by Knocked Out as Any One never does to Povetkin Before
Alexander Povetkin proved to be a tougher test than some may have expected, but it ultimately did not take long for reigning unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to stop his mandatory challenger with a seventh-round TKO on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium in London. Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) defended his titles in a pairing of former Olympic gold medalists that was closer than the opening odds indicated.
Povetkin (34-2) suffered just the second defeat and first knockout of his career despite appearing to win some early rounds against Joshua. Now boxing fans will wait and see whether Joshua and WBC champion Deontay Wilder can come to terms on a bout for the undisputed heavyweight title.
