ANTHONY JOSHUA ADDED another KO win to his perfect record after an absorbing street fight with Dillian Whyte.
For the first time in his professional career, Joshua was taken past the third round by a game Whyte who briefly threatened an upset in London’s O2 Arena.
The win was revenge for the 2012 Olympic champion, who was beaten by Whyte in their amateur days, as he scored the 15th straight stoppage of his career.
The decisive moment came early in the seventh round when Joshua landed a big right hand that rocked Whyte and then pounced for the finish.
“It was a tough fight. I made it tough for myself,” Joshua said afterwards.
“But that’s what I need — I need experience.
“He gave me rounds, I learned a lot, and now I can look forward.”
