Anthony Joshua again began the ninth round with those left-hand jabs, and Kubrat Pulev tries to get inside. He can only do so with a clinch.
Pulev looks remarkably unmarked despite the shots he has taken. Joshua misses with a huge uppercut that might have got the job done. Then comes another uppercut.

Pulev hangs on for dear life, while still smiling. He sure can take a punch. But then comes two mighty uppercuts that surely finish him. He’s down, but gets up after an eight count.
The first punch that follows clubs Pulev to the ground. He won’t be getting back up.
Anthony Joshua in his speech after being declared winner of the last heavyweight boxing in the pandemic year. He said: “Wembley Arena, can you hear me. Let’s make some noise. One thousand fans, I love you all. Boxing is about less talk and more actions and I hope everyone was satisfied.
For me, I stuck to what I know best. The boxing. I don’t really want to do an interview. Go and have a lovely Christmas and we’ll see you in 2021. You ask the crowd what they want to see.
(The crowd say they want Tyson Fury.) Last year, 2019. I want to challenge. It’s not about the opponent. It’s about the legacy and the belt. If that’s Tyson Fury, let it be Tyson Fury. It’s no big deal.
