Anthony Joshua becomes World Heavyweight Champion
Anthony Joshua reigns supreme after knocking out Charles Martin in Round 2 at the O2 Arena in London to claim the IBF World Heavyweight title.
Anthony Joshua had little trouble with Charles Martin to claim the IBF world heavyweight title, sending the defending champion to the canvas twice in round two before the referee brought a swift end to the fight.
Joshua had the champion in trouble from early on in the bout, testing him with a series of early right-hand jabs. It felt like a question of time before he connected, and when he did – less than 60 seconds into round two – the fight was over.
