Joshua retains title

LONDON. — Anthony Joshua feels ready to take on any of the world’s elite heavyweight boxers after a seventh round victory over Dominic Breazeale on Saturday night.

In a first defence of his International Boxing Federation (IBF) heavyweight title, Joshua floored his American challenger twice in a comfortable victory at the O2 Arena in London.

Such has been the rapid rise of Joshua, a gold medallist at the 2012 Olympics, that he is now talking about world title unification fights.

And it is hard to see who else will be left to fight if 26-year-old Joshua continues his astonishing run of knockouts, with Breazeale being his 17th stoppage victory from as many bouts since turning professional in October 2013. — AFP.
