he then knocked out wladimir klitschko in the 11th round. all wladimir klitschko had to do was hang on to the end of the fight. he was ahead on points. he was ahead on points, in this fight, but thejoshua knocked him down three times in the 11th round, and the referee had to stand — had to intervene, and the fight was all over. anthonyjoshua has anthony joshua has held anthonyjoshua has held on to his title. he has unified half the heavyweight division. not undisputed yet but that will be the next step if he can. anthonyjoshua has gone into the stratosphere. he is the man they are all going to want to fight now. a fantastic night for british boxing in front of a record number of fans. 0lly foster with that report on the big fight at wembley stadium. let's have a quick look at some of the front pages of the sunday newspapers. the observer leads on saturday's summit of eu leaders saying they want the uk to provide guarantees to eu citizens living in britain before any trade talks can begin. the sunday times reports that the other eu member s

at that point, as wladimir klitschko struggled up, anthonyjoshua wladimir klitschko struggled up, anthony joshua landed wladimir klitschko struggled up, anthonyjoshua landed two of the most concussive and impressive punches i have ever seen from ringside. it was a right uppercut which is all over the newspapers today. down went wladimir klitschko for the final time to end notjust a great fight but one of the great fights. what about anthony joshua? will it be a rematch with wladimir klitschko or will he go on to fight tyson fury? the two of them have exchanged tweets. tyson curia saying, bring it on, let's dance. they can have their brilliant dance next year. tyson viewing needs to get his head right and lose about six stone. —— tyson ‘s theory. i do think, despite the shocking ending, i fancy that wladimir klitschko will wa nt i fancy that wladimir klitschko will want a rematch. he will invoke the rematch clause. this is quite sickening and i hate to give the bad news on what should be a morning of celebration, there is every chance the ibs, one of the governing bodies, they might

this is unusual for wladimir klitschko, losing his way. wladimir klitschko then took over and nearly stopped anthonyjoshua at the end of the round. in the sixth round anthony joshua was dropped like you've been taken out joshua was dropped like you've been ta ken out by joshua was dropped like you've been taken out by some imaginary sniper. he drops in a heap and doesn't move forfour he drops in a heap and doesn't move for four seconds and somehow manages to last to the end of that round. i was exhausted and the boxers were exhausted and 90,000 people watching too exhausted and we still had ago. the accountant —— you can't invent fights like that. then i think wladimir klitschko had his eye patched up and required 15 stitches later. in my opinion they had a co mforta ble later. in my opinion they had a comfortable lead going into the 11th round but two of the three judges ringside at anthonyjoshua in front. starting the 11th round i had no idea what was going to come. the concussive viciousness that we saw, that was a sign of real cham

we heard from wladimir klitschko and anthonyjoshua we heard from wladimir klitschko and anthony joshua ahead we heard from wladimir klitschko and anthonyjoshua ahead of their fight, they were given a grand reception and entrance for their final post fight news conference. wladimir klitschko said it was very refreshing that there were none of those fun and games, the trash talking, the abuse, sometimes, the violent outbreaks you sometimes see in these news conferences before a fight. he said this is how it should be done and anthonyjoshua, you can tally was completely focused on the job in hand. he is the heavyweight champion of the worst, wladimir klitschko in a very strange position of being a challenger. now let's hear from both fighters. even though it's such an amazing event, i always try to strip everything back down to reality and focus on it, itjust me and him coming to blows and the best man will win. i'm still up very early in the morning and sleeping very late at night, working diligently with my coach to prepare myself and physically, but mentally to prepare for any battle.

at 41 years old, does wladimir klitschko have what it ta kes to ta ke does wladimir klitschko have what it takes to take onjoshua? it is joshua's 90th professional fight, does he have the experience to take a beat man —— to beat a man that reigned supreme for so long in the heavyweight division. answers tomorrow night. squaring up after their public work—out and press conference yesterday. the build—up has been pretty cordial between the two of them, no real predictions from either although wladimir klitschko has made one can he is keeping his memory cards close to his chest, take a look. on this usb stick i recorded a video last week. and the outcome of the fight. list stick is going to be integrated in my robe, which i'm going to wear this saturday night. sealed. do not ask me, after the fight, what is on this stick. i would be asking! the only person who will find out is the one who grabs that robe at an auction after the fight. wladimir klitschko says it is up to them if they want to reveal what the contents they want to reveal what the co nte nts of they want to reveal what

wladimir klitschko in desperate trouble. every time he tries to move backwards, it looks as though he's going to fall over. joshua has got him backed into the corner. and anthonyjoshua teeing off. referee david field has stepped in, and anthonyjoshua has stopped his man in the 11th round of an epic slugfest here at wembley arena. 0ur sports correspondent 0lly foster was ringside at wembley. it was an absolutely extraordinary fight. anthonyjoshua, the ibf world champion, was taken to a very, very dark place tonight. he was dropped to the canvas for the first time in his career, his 19th fight. he had already put wladimir klitschko down, as well, in the fifth round. wladimir klitschko 14 years his senior, the former world champion of the heavyweight division, undefeated in a decade. he thought he could get back to the top. and my word, he so nearly did, the ukrainian. but there was unbelievable response from anthonyjoshua. this is the longest fight in his professional career. he then knocked out klitschko in the 11th round. al
