Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KOs) landed the IBF World Heavyweight title with a brutal second round KO win over Charles Martin at The O2, live on Saturday, April 9.
In front of a sold-out crowd, Joshua began with his trademark blistering speed and power in the opening round, rocking the unbeaten champion with solid shots.
However, after demolishing the reigning titleholder “Prince” Charles Martin in two rounds on Saturday night, Joshua said, “I am not going to get too carried away because there’s a lot of work to be done. I have to keep on improving because I have people like David Haye calling me out, Tyson Fury calling me out, all of them. I need to keep on pushing if I’m going to maintain at a high level. He said:
“Every Heavyweight has got power but it’s about speed and precision, locking in and staying focused. A few months ago I was in here with Dillian Whyte having a great scrap that was one for the fans, this was one for myself. I told you I was going to come out and punish him, I told you I would show him levels and this is the reward of it,”
