British heavyweight Anthony Joshua scored the biggest win of his career Saturday when he stopped former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in the 11th round at Wembley Stadium in London.
Before the stoppage, Joshua landed a vicious uppercut that set up the knockout.

Somehow Klitschko was able to still stand after the punch, which is a huge credit to him. Joshua finished the job shortly after, sending Klitschko down twice in the round before referee David Fields stopped the fight.
Joshua improved to 19-0 with 19 knockouts. He defended his IBF title, won the WBA title and is now considered the best heavyweight in the world.
