It’s unfair to call the win as lopsided, but unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua left no doubts against Kubrat Pulev tonight. He condemned ‘The Cobra’ to his second professional defeat and defended his belts in the best possible way.
He also ended the KO-draught that was itching him for the past two years and wants to meet WBC champion, Tyson Fury, in 2021. However, ’AJ’ deserves to receive the credit and relish his big win tonight.
