If Anthony Joshua isn't voted in the Top3 of this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year then there is something wrong with the British public.

 

What a warrior, Joshua is. The best fight I've seen for a long time and Klitschko played a part in a great boxing bout.

 

 

I missed part of the fight because of a dodgy stream but from what I saw it looked like Vladimir was winning until the 11th round when Joshua knocked him down to the mat twice before the ref stopped the fight. I'm glad that Anthony Joshua won, he could go on to be one of the best of all time.
What a fight! So much respect between the two of them and gripping from the off, a genuinely great match to watch - they both really gave their all.

A great fight, probably the best heavyweight fight since Lewis/Klitschko back In 2003.

 

Absolutely thrilled for AJ. Showed great heart in there after looking unsteady in the middle rounds (I honestly thought he was done after the knockdown!). I have to say fair play to both Joshua and Klitschko. Showed class inside and outside the ring.

Who do you think Joshua should fight next?

 

Fury, Parker or Wilder seem the obvious opponents.

Joshua was up 96-93 and 95-93 on two cards, with Klitschko leading 95-93 on the other.

Incredible fight, if I'm honest I thought this fight would be too soon in Anthony Joshua's career to take on and win but man he stepped up and more. It's like he said post-match that he's still learning under the bright lights. And that uppercut to take out Klitschko was beautiful. AJ's career is going to go stratospheric if he keeps winning fights like these.

It will be interesting to see how far Joshua can go successfully following that fight.

 

I think he has the potential to dominate the heavyweight division. He would have learnt a lot from that Klitschko fight (by far the toughest of his career so far). I do think he would be better off coming in the ring a little bit lighter though. He ran out of steam in the 5th/6th round, and that is definitely a concern. His lack of foot work and head movement could do with improving as well. He will get better and better though, I have no doubt about that. What he also showed us is that he's got a solid chin, which held up for the most part.
