Remind me did Fury get put on arse? Did Fury do it in a foreign country? Did Fury lose more than a couple of rounds? ;)

You and nobody will be having to ask questions about whether AJ can overcome adversity, go late in a fight and win, or get off the canvas to win.

Maybe. I'd back him to beat Joshua.

That takes nothing away from Joshua tonight though imo. People were asking how would he react to being in trouble and taking big shots. He gets up off the floor and comes back to win, that's how. I never, ever doubted his fighting spirit at any point. His am career showed he has plenty of bollocks and isn't a flat track bully.
He could knock Fury out, no doubt.

The vacant WBA title was on the line.

Let's forgive & forget Klitschko's many boring, safety-first defenses, that was great.

Until he got knocked out that is .

Never liked aj, still don't but he done great to comeback there. Very good win but I could never see him beating fury if he comes back at his best, don't think he'd be able to hit him

Joshua's victory was more thrilling, but Fury was clearly the more dominant.
Fury was in total control, doing what he wanted throughout the fight.
AJ was brilliant tonight, but he won by outlasting an old man.

Great to see a thrilling heavyweight fight @ pace.

He is too busy making a mockery of himself.

Hard to argue with that right now, unfortunately.

41 and goes like that beautiful what other heavyweight has done that at that age?

I think Joshua was a tad lucky there he didn't look particulary good he's just got that big punch which saved him in the end.

Watch when he comes back

Fvcking incredible fight, it will go down with the greats that, I had Klitschko up 95-94 at the time of the stoppage, I thought he was excellent, he looked as good as he has done for years, on his toes, busy and never looked to spoil until later when Joshua got his 2nd wind, the 5th round when Joshua put him down I only scored 10-9 to AJ as he was all over the place and gassed in David Price preportions, I thought before even the 6th started Klitschko was about to KO him and when that right hand detonated on Joshua's chin I thought it was gonna be over quickly, Joshua showed some heart though to hang in there, he never threw a punch for 3/4 rounds but he got his 2nd wind finally then got a superb KO , 2 lovely uppercuts for the 1st 2 knockdowns from Joshua, TBH there wasn't as many clean punches landed at the intervention as I first thought

We learned more about Joshua tonight than ever, some worries but for now just enjoy an epic fight and a superb win, Klitschko is a fcvking dude

Eddie getting booed

No he didn't he fiddled his way to a win

He outboxed him, jabbing and moving his way to a comfortable UD. He had a much easier time than AJ, and was never close to defeat like Josh was.

It's different styles tho isn't it. Fury is never going to pull an uppercut that almost takes someone's head off just the same as AJ isn't going to get on his toes and outbox a good boxer.

At the end of the round that AJ got put down in everyone including me thought Klitschko was going to win. So now, like I said earlier nobody can go and say he hasn't overcome a gut check because he did against a tough opponent in a tough style fight.

I agree with the guys who said earlier this was the best heavyweight fight they have seen in a long time. I can't think of another at this level that I've enjoyed watching more.

He'll get stripped when he fights the contracted rematch and not his mandatory

Has to be a rematch...

Id like to see a rematch.
