Undefeated IBF/WBA/IBO/WBO Heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua successfully retained his crown with a devastating seventh round stoppage of longtime Heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium in London, England. As has been the case in his recent fights, the champion was put to the test by the challenger. In previewing this fight , this observer stated that I felt it would serve Povetkin well to use lateral movement to establish himself as an elusive target while looking to out box the champion by executing his offense in compact spurts. This is precisely what the challenger did by using timing to execute his offense and head movement to evade much of Joshua's offense. The challenger also appeared to break the champion's nose in the first round with a combination of punches highlighted by a left hook.

In March of this year undefeated unified IBF/WBA/IBO Heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua took one step closer to becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight world champion by scoring a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated WBO world champion Joseph Parker. Although Joshua successfully defended his crown for the fifth time and added the World Boxing Organization (WBO) world championship to his unified crown, the victory over Parker also marked the first time the twenty-eight year old native of Watford, England was extended to the full distance of a fight as a professional after scoring knockouts in his first twenty bouts. As is usually the norm following a unification bout, the unified Heavyweight world champion will make the sixth defense of his crown against a mandatory contender on Saturday night against longtime top Heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
