Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev fight result: Tyson Fury blockbuster beckons after ninth-round knockout
Fighting for the first time since avenging that shock defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr and regaining his lost belts in Saudi Arabia 12 months ago, ‘AJ’ produced a dominant display against his mandatory IBF challenger in front of 1,000 returning fight fans – plus boxing royalty in the form of Floyd Mayweather Jr – at the SSE Arena, Wembley. Stepping into a ring on home soil for the first time in some 27 months, Joshua successfully defended his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO titles while securing a 24th professional victory with a highlight-reel ninth-round knockout – his first KO since 2018. It was a succession of crushing uppercuts and a truly devastating, perfectly-timed final right hand that secured victory in an entertaining and feisty clash for the home favourite, who was initially due to fight Pulev in 2017, only for that bout to be scuppered by injury.
