It will go down as one of the greatest fights in boxing history. Anthony Joshua somehow managed to defeat a brave Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round at Wembley, lifting 90,000 people to their feet.
In a truly epic encounter, Anthony Joshua defended the IBF world title while unifying the heavyweight division by collecting the vacant WBA [Super] and IBO world titles.
It really was a fight that went back and forth, round after round. One minute it was Joshua's to lose - the next, Klitschko's.

One moment in particular left Wembley in shock.
Joshua produced an incredible right hook direct to the chin of Wladimir.
I think it was the fact that Klitschko managed to stay on his feet as Joshua looked on, exhausted and confused as to how he was still on two feet.

WHAT A STRIKE:
How his head managed to stay on his shoulders, I'll never know.
Seconds after the fight, Tyson Fury posted a brilliant tweet with the quote:

"Wellldone @anthonyfjoshua good fight, you had life & death with @klitschko & I played with the guy, let's dance "

Rematch, please.
