Anthony Joshua's Big 5: To discredit the white lion!

Anthony Joshua's Big 5: To discredit the white lion!

In 2018, the world of heavyweights is already feeling the universal dream of a match between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. The Englishman and the American have impressed, but before the duel in question each has their work to do. For AJ, she seems complicated. After 21 victories in as many meetings, it is his turn to meet Alexander Povetkin.

The White Lion is a respected and very good boxer. In 35 matches up to that point, he only lost to Wladimir Klitschko. No one has ever knocked out the Olympic champion from Athens in 2004. A serious test and even a challenge for one of the best knockouts in the division. Anthony has already fallen asleep in the professional ring 20 of his rivals. Including Wladimir Klitschko…

At the mythical "Wembley" another magnificent battle is coming. Joshua's fans once again overflow the capacity of the stadium. Anthony's performance is memorable. The atmosphere seems bound to defeat him. The plan for success looks simple, but of course it isn't. Joshua tries to keep the powerful but much shorter Alexander at bay. Anthony relies on discipline and counter-attacking.

In the 7th round, Joshua's incredible right hand comes into play. So far in the match, he's been using it mostly to hit the Russian's body, but in the decisive moment of the match, it lands on his head. The White Lion gets tangled in the ropes, but steadies himself at the last moment and stands up. Just for a moment... A few seconds later, the referee ends the match. For the first time in history, Alexander Povetkin was knocked out in the professional ring. Wladimir Klitschko, Takam, Wach, Hammer, Price, Chagaev, Hook and many others fail. But Anthony Joshua does and wins his 7th straight world title fight.
