Nigerian-born Britain's IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua defended his title for the first time yesterday at the O2 Arena in London against American Dominic Breazeale.

Tony won with a seventh-round knockout of Dominic Breazeale.

The sold out arena loved every second of the big fight - from entrance to brutal denouement. It was a night on which Joshua was bleeding from the nose himself in the sixth round.
