LONDRES (Avril 29, 2017) – Anthony Joshua was crowed the king of the heavyweight division Samedi live on SHOWTIME as he unified the division with an 11e round TKO of long-reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko before a record 90,000 fans at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Joshua, who remains a perfect 19-0 avec 19 KO, overcame the first knockdown of his career to successfully defend his IBF belt and pick up the vacant WBA title.
Joshua knocked Klitschko down once in the fifth and twice in the 11e before referee David Fields stepped in to protect the defenseless former champion at 2:25 of the penultimate round.
“I’m not perfect but I’m trying,”A dit Joshua. “I got a bit emotional because I know I have doubters. Je vais seulement m'améliorer. Sometimes you can be a phenomenal boxer, but boxing is about character. When you go into the trenches that’s when you find out who you really are.
“I came out and I won – that’s how far I had to dig. I came back and I fought my heart out.”
“As boxing states you leave your ego at the door and you respect your opponent. A massive shout out to Wladimir Klitschko for taking the fight. I don’t want to say too much because I don’t know if he wants to come back and fight me. He’s a role model in and out of the ring.”
Après le combat, Joshua called out former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who dethroned Klitschko in 2015 but was subsequently forced to vacate his belts due to a number of issues outside the ring.
“Tyson Fury where you at, bébé,”A dit Joshua. “Come on – that’s what they want to see. I just want to fight everyone. I’m really enjoying this right now.”
Klitschko floored Joshua in the sixth and was up on Steve Weisfeld’s scorecard at the time of the stoppage 95-93. The other two judges – Don Trella and Nelson Vazquez – had Joshua up 96-93 et 95-93, respectivement.
“The best man won ce soir and it’s an amazing moment for boxing. Anthony was better today than I. It’s really sad that I didn’t make it ce soir. I was planning to do it. It didn’t work, but all the respect to Anthony.
“Of course we have a rematch in the contract. I need to analyze and see what the heck happened. I wish I could have raised my hands, but congrats to him. He got up, he fought back and he won the titles.”

JOSHUA:
“Even though this is such a great event, I always try to strip it down to what it really is and just focus that it’s just me and this man coming to blows and the best man will win. I’m not only prepared physically but mentally as well for any battle.
"Avril 29 is just another stepping stone towards greatness.
“Any fight is the right fight. I’ve never shied away from any fight, any opponent. I started boxing in 2008; en 2009, 'dix, ‘11 I was in the World Championships, et en 2012 I was representing Great Britain competing to be the best in the world in the Olympics. Il n'a pas d'importance qui je me bats. I just enjoy what I do and I just embrace every opportunity.
“I don’t underestimate any opponent. Through my mistakes I have learned and made myself right.”
Prédiction:
“I win. It’s not complicated. Let’s not overthink it. This isn’t rocket science. This is just a fight. Let’s strip it right back to what it is – a young lion, ferocious, faim, very determined. I left no stone unturned in training camp. We do talk about experience, but even when I was fighting guys with lesser experience I was preparing for this. I’ve prepared since day one for this.
“Carrying the belt hasn’t changed me as a person. I just want to represent myself the best way because I know behind me are a million people that walk the same path as me and come from the same background. I think I’m a representation of these people.
“This is another stop. You can’t sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor. As you sit down on your throne there is always someone knocking on your door to take you down. Pour moi, it’s just another stepping stone.”
On potentially celebrating after a win:
“You can’t deny it. This is epic. As much as I’m calm, when I look around and see how pumped people are for this fight it gives me energy, it gives me life. So it would be hard for me to hold myself together after such an amazing event.”
On this being a pivotal moment for the sport of boxing:
"Absolument, ce est 110 percent a pivotal moment for boxing.”
KLITSCHKO:
“Can you imagine my next opponent is going to fight a guy whose age is exactly the number of how long he has been in boxing – 27 ans? Can you imagine that? It’s a pretty amazing task. Is it a degradation that I’m actually a challenger and underdog in this fight after 27 years in the sport? I don’t think so. I think it’s great.
“I’m the challenger again. I feel young, faim, humble and totally obsessed with my goal to raise my hands again.
“I’m so obsessed with winning. I realized that life is a circle, and I see myself in AJ. I do believe I know how he thinks, how he goes, and how the actual fight is going to be.
“The belts are very important. I’ve been attached to these belts for a very long. I had those belts in my past fight, and I’m fighting for these belts in this fight. The only difference is in my last fight they went to the opposite corner. So my goal and obsession is for those belts to land in my corner, in my hands.
“Obsession is love in extreme shape. I’m in love with my goal.
“Defeat? Je ai été là, I’ve done that. I got up, shook it off and came back stronger. Just a little help (for Joshua) – there’s nothing scary about it.”

Both fighters are eager to make an impression during their Las Vegas debut.
“Finally my opportunity has come. The road to the big stage has been long but it’s here and I’m ready. It’s time to prove to the world that I am a threat to anyone in this division. I have been saying it for some time, my record shows it, but now I’ll get the chance to prove it," dit Arias. “I’m coming to make a statement on Juin 17! My opponent has been beat before and will be beat again. Thanks to Roc Nation Sports and my handlers for making this happen. A new star will be born.”

We are so pleased to finally give him this match-up,” said Main Events CEO Kathy Duva. “This is a huge opportunity for both Arif and Luis to test themselves on such a big stage. A win or a good showing by either fighter could catapult them in the rankings and put them on the map in this stacked middleweight division.”
