Undefeated Anthony Joshua proved why he’s the future of boxing’s heavyweight division.
On Saturday night, the Englishman scored a technical knockout victory over the veteran Wladimir Klitschko at the Wembley Stadium in London, England to gain the WBA and IBO heavyweight belts, while defending his IBF title. The fight was a dramatic and competitive contest that had both fighters down on the canvas at different points of the bout, and had many people calling it the greatest heavyweight boxing contest in recent memory.
Check out below is how the pro’s in the world of mixed martial arts reacted to the heavyweight contest:
