Like the popular quite of legendary boxer, Muhammad Ali, "Fly like a Butterfly, sting like a bee" was the tale of Anthony Joshua against Alexander Povetkin at the Wembley to the amazement of the world.

 It was a sold out crowd of a massive viewer-ship of boxing fans across the world who were on the toes of the reigning IBO, WBA and WBO champion Joshua as he earned his 22nd career victory in the 7th round.

Ahead of the bout, the 28 years old British boxer was suffering from a flu but had much at stake due to the pedigree of his challenger Povetkin, 39, who is a former summer Olympic champion and a Russian heavyweight boxing veteran.

The pendulum swung in Povetkin's favour in round 1 as he used his experience and incisive positioning to restrict the punches of Joshua.

A timely punch by the Russian led to a bloodied nose of Joshua but that did not deter the Briton from driving into his opponent with his powerful right hand and left hook combination which is a sboxing style trademark of the latter in the 4th round.

Another left hand combination sent Povetkin staggering to the left corner of ringside with the intervention of centre referee, Steve Gray.

The 5th round was no different as Joshua resumed with his electrifying style of boxing combination leading to a cut on the left eye of Povetkin.

There was an uproar of the watching spectators in the 6th round as it was an all Povetkin affair, leaving Joshua to lose concentration.

The 7th round was the decisive moment as Joshua in an orthodox stance from quintessential calmness in the middle of the ring, unleashed a right jab with a follow up left hook combination in succession that send the defenceless Povetkin to the ropes.

This time the Russian could not recover as referee Gray had to end the bloody bout and Joshua was declared winner as he defended his titles six times more than any other professional boxer in history.
