Anthony Joshua looks back on "an unforgettable night"

Joshua hails "unforgettable night"

Anthony Joshua has taken to Twitter to brand his IBF heavyweight title victory on Saturday "an unforgettable night".

The 26-year-old floored American Charles Martin in the second round at the O2 Arena to make it 16 knockouts from his 16 professional fights and win a heavyweight crown in the process.

Champion Martin was making his first defence of the title that he won in January, but the American could not cope with the power from Joshua, who forced the referee to stop the bout in just the second round.

After the fight, Joshua claimed that he will "walk through Tyson Fury" when, as expected, he is given the chance to fight the WBA and WBO champion.
