British Boxer Anthony Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via a seventh round Technical Knockout to retain his WBC International & Commonwealth Heavyweight title and won the vacant British Heavyweight crown at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London.
Anthony Joshua (15-0, 15 KO's), the 26-year-old No.1 heavyweight candidate in the world and the 2012 London Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist, was not severely tested in his first 14 fights. He has usually easily beaten and knocked everybody and his fights never went the distance, as all of his previous bouts had never been into the fourth round.

But fellow British boxer Dillian Whyte (16-1, 13 KO's), a heavyweight prospect in his own right, finally made Joshua to work in a spectacular action-packed bout.
Anthony Joshua was able to avenge his amateur loss to Dillian Whyte and proved the world how far he has come since that defeat. Back in the year 2009, Whyte knocked-out Joshua in his third amateur fight.
There was disarray in the first round when Joshua landed a shot on Whyte after the bell, Wyte did not like it and unloaded some reckless shot. Whyte was lucky enough not to be disqualified, however, he was given a warning by referee Howard Foster at the start of the second round.
In the second round, both fighters were trading punches, Joshua connected with a right uppercut. Whyte landed with a left hook stunning the champ for a while. Joshua landed a nice uppercut in the fourth round but strong enough to stop Whyte from being relentless to keep on coming.
It seemed that Joshua was leading on the scorecards as he continued to land more punches, but Whyte was able to connect with a huge right in the sixth round.
In the seventh round, Joshua landed with a massive right hand and rocked Whyte again with another right before knocking him out with another devastating right uppercut and sent him down. The referee immediately stopped the fight at 1:27 minutes into the round.
