Anthony Joshua came through his first
real test as a professional, knocking
Dillian Whyte out in the seventh round to
win the British heavyweight title.
Olympic champion Joshua, 26, came into
the fight boasting 14 straight knockouts in
the first three rounds. But Whyte, 27, stood up to some huge blows and, perhaps more importantly, managed to land a few of his own.
However, Whyte was wobbled by a hook to
the temple before Joshua finished the job
with a savage uppercut. With Whyte dangling on the ropes and seemingly unaware of his surroundings, referee Howard Foster called a halt to
proceedings.
Joshua's thrilling victory was greeted by
raucous celebrations at the 20,000-capacity
O2 Arena, making it abundantly clear that
Britain has a new heavyweight hero. And
Joshua's emergence could lead to some
fascinating heavyweight encounters on these shores over the next few years.

I imagine a sweet victory for AJ as Whyte had been running his mouth endlessly in the UK press. The knockout was brutal.

So brutal with no chance to recover in time. I heard he once defeated AJ at amateur level. That's why he was so confident. It was however tough.
