When IBF, WBA and IBO world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua made his spectacular entrance in front of 78,000 fans at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff, it was obvious we were in for something special.

After collecting 19 knockouts in his 19 bouts thus far in his career, the Watford-born fighter has arguably become not just Britain's most revered boxer, but the world's.

AJ's knockout style and overall nice guy charisma is why people pay their hard-earned money to watch his fights. It's also a reason why he has sold out Wembley and the Principality Stadium.

Joshua was asked how he felt the boos after his win and the crowd let him know why.

"As I said, I have no interest with what's going on with the officials, that's not my job," Joshua said. "My job is to worry about my opponent. I was watching him, I was trying to break him down round by round and unfortunately, the ref stopped it. But, I think people wanna see Takam unconscious on the floor, am I right?
