Joshua hoping to push on

Anthony Joshua believes that his emphatic win against Matt Legg has provided him with the platform to "step up" another level.

The 24-year-old needed just 83 seconds to see off Legg, knocking down his opponent in the opening round.

"I knew he was going to come out swinging," Joshua told Sky Sports News following the clash at Wembley Stadium.

"I saw straight away it was a small ring, I knew he couldn't outwork me, so I thought let me just tuck up and enjoy it. Take a few, give a few.

"Potentially, I feel that I could step up. Experience wise, I haven't gone past three rounds as a pro, so experience is really what I need. I've just come back from a small injury so I'm back in the mix now, I'm rolling again."

Joshua has now won six fights out of six since turning professional.
