For the 20th time in his career, Anthony Joshua knocked out an opponent, as he defended his WBA and IBF titles, albeit in controversial consequence. Carlo Takam, French born Cameroonian, was Joshua’s challenger this time, like in his previous bouts, the British Nigerian came out victorious after the referee stopped the fight in the 10th round.
Many were of the opinion that the decision to stop the fight was a wrong call by the man in the middle, after Takam gave a good account of himself.
However, like every other global Sporting event, this sold out bout was followed on social media, especially twitter, and we have some of the best reactions.
