What was supposed to be toughest test of Anthony Joshua's pro career lasted just 4 minutes and 22 seconds. It was actually just one second more than the duration of his warm-up bout against Raphael Zumbano Love earlier this month.
That the encounter went to a second round really was surprising. Kevin Johnson had never been stopped before this fight but he was no match for the power of Joshua.
The 2012 Olympic gold medalist has still never been taken beyond the third round. He is now 13-0 with all those victories coming by knockout.
This was the knockdown at the end of the first round. He is relentless.
