Anthony Joshua knocked out Dominic Breazeale in the seventh round to retain the IBF Boxing heavyweight world title this morning.

Joshua started the round with a three‑punch combination, the third a straight left which rocked Breazeale’s head right back.

The crowd roared as Joshua moved in on the ropes and smashed Breazeale to the canvas with a huge right hand.

The American could not stop the heavy punches from Joshua as he stayed down after Joshua landed a flurry of punches.

Joshua said he is likely to fight ‘the likes of Joseph Parker’ next, given Tyson Fury’s bout with Wladimir Klitschko has been postponed.
