Anthony Joshua thumps Raphael Zumbano Love with second-round knockout

British heavyweight prospect Anthony Joshua took his career record to 12-0 with a second-round knockout of Raphael Zumbano Love in Birmingham last night.

Joshua quickly disposed of Love before giving the cheering crowd a taste of what is to follow by squaring up to next opponent Kevin Johnson, whom he faces on May 30.

The 25-year-old Londoner managed a number of jabs and body shots throughout a first round that saw his Brazilian counterpart fail to do much damage.

It was all over in the second as Joshua delivered a ferocious knockout to embarrass Love, who cracked a smile after being caught by a jab moments earlier.

At the end, Johnson climbed between the ropes to greet Joshua ahead of their bout at the end of the month, with the Birmingham crowd booing the American during an interview.
