Anthony Joshua and Carlos Takam 

Anthony Joshua has retained his WBA and IBF heavyweight titles by defeating Carlos Takam after an abruptly concluded fight.

The bout dragged until the 10th round before Anthony was able to stop the durable Carlos Takam and retained his WBA and IBF heavyweight titles in front of an estimated 75,000 fans in Cardiff on Saturday.

The referee stopped the fight after Joshua caught Takam with a hook-uppercut combination and was moving in to land more blows. A decision that was met with scornful reactions from the crowd.

It was not an easy evening for Joshua. He had his nose broken through a second-round clash of heads. 



Takam, who boxed for Cameroon at the 2004 Olympics before relocating to Paris a year later, fought as a late replacement opponent at 12 days’ notice after Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev injured a shoulder. He lived up to his reputation as a tough opponent.

It was the second time Joshua was taken beyond seven rounds in his pro career. The other time was the 11-round fight against Wladimir Klitschko in April.

With this victory, the British boxer has earned a 20th straight win.


Joshua said "I was trying to break him down round by round, Unfortunately, the ref stopped it. I think people want to see Takam unconscious on the floor. That was where I was trying to get to. I don't have control over the ref's decision."
