Shame Povetkin never got the Wilder fight. Would have loved to see that.

Credit to Sasha for a good start and guts.

Credit to Joshua for rational approach, patience and well-timed one-two, which settled a win for AJ.

A great fight, but sad for me.

Maybe we can still get it. I'd love to see that as well. I think I'd favor Povetkin in that one.

Fury & Wilder can talk all they want. Another cleared out they never fancied.

Joshua is learning and becoming someone who’ll switch them both off

Me too, though it’s got to be Wilder/Fury- AJ next? Maybe if wilder loses.

AJ is such a Twonk, interrupting the questions to kiss up to the crowd.

I'd normally agree, but as good an effort as Povetkin had given up to that point, and considering what's at stake you gotta give him one more chance I think.
To be fair having seen the replay, you’re bang on.

Sorry mate don't agree with ya. Price had PoV looking uncomfortable had PoV was in top during most of that fight. Fury stands him on his head and Wilder levels him out. Only my opinion though mate

So it's AJ vs Whyte before the winner of The Bronze Bomber and The Gypsy King ?
As long as that's lined up soon after - I'm fine with that.

Superb in the end from Joshua, took a while but got there in the end with a worldy of a stoppage, I'm not usually as critical of Sky as most but they were awful tonight, I had Povetkin 2 rounds up, he was landing the bigger shots clean, right hands ove the top, left hooks followed up the left uppercut through the middle of Joshua's guard, he looked as good as he had in a while, fast sharp and looked pretty explosive at times, Joshua took too long to get going, barely threw the right hand and always looked open to Povetkin's attacks

Credit where credits due though, once he rocked Povetkin with that right hand in the 7th, he looked back to his destructive best, Povetkin done well to get up from the first KD, his legs looked like they wouldn't rise but when they did, Joshua took care of business

All in all a poor performance from Joshua but a great KO, hats off to Povetkin

“Who else was on the undercard?”

Was that a dig from AJ to Eddie? I’m maybe reading too much into it
