Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the night of 29 April 2017, at Wembley Stadium, Anthony Joshua knocked down and defeated the Ukraine's former world heavyweight champion, Vladimir Klitschko. In doing so, he added the WBA and IBO heavyweight titles to the IBF belt he already held. That bald statement of fact does little justice to what proved to be one of the finest heavyweight contests of all time, in which a brilliant but relatively inexperienced fighter took on, and eventually defeated, one of the finest boxers of his or any other age. It was a twelve-round fight before a record post-War crowd, and for eleven of those rounds it could have gone either way; indeed, in Round 6 it looked as though Joshua was finished when a massive right hand from Klitschko sent him to the canvas. But the fight also harked back to an earlier era of true sportsmen, far outshining the hype and flummery of lesser fighters, with Joshua as graceful and generous in victory as Klitschko was in defeat. For once, boxing lived up to its description as 'the Noble Art', and is all the richer for it. In this, the first post-Klitschko fight study of this remarkable boxer, bestselling sports writer Frank Worrall looks at the life and career of a young man who has won all nineteen of his professional fights by KO. Since that glorious day in 2012, when Joshua won gold at the London Olympics, he has shown himself to be a true gentleman - but a fighter to the core. At twenty-seven, he has a glittering career ahead of him, and it seems certain that he is poised to revive heavyweight boxing and usher in a new Golden Age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANTHONY JOSHUA UNFORTUNATE LOSS TO OLEKSANDR USYK He stood in front of him like an amateur and did nothing. I just watched the fight and I had no idea what Joshua's intention was. He had absolutely no confidence which tells me neither did he. It took Joshua about 10 minutes to throw a body shot. Usyk torso was crying out for an attack from the first bell. Joshua did not step back once to draw Usyk in, he stood there like a novice and basically said 'Hit me. What's annoying about this is that everybody will say how great Usyk is. He is not. Joshua was dreadful and Usyk got the job done. Joshua did not move side to side at all in the fight, he seemed terrified of being caught by Usyk's left cross which shook him up early. Joshua didn't seem to have any strength or belief that he was the defending champion. Joshua should have won this fight. He must fight Usyk again and beat him, otherwise, his legacy has been flushed down the toilet. I thought his loss to Ruiz was an anomaly but this proves it wasn't at all. I believed he was a good, not great Heavyweight Champion with a team that wasn't up to it. Looks like they deserve each other by this showing. Because AJ lost his last fight with USYK, does not prove that Usyk is a perfect fighter. While this may be true many sports analysts have dished out points in favor and against the former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua
