Here's how Anthony Joshua vs Pulev Fight went. ROUND ONE Not much in the first round. AJ standing off his challenger, wondering why he isn't all-guns blazing like he was in 2014 vs Klitschko. There's a good left from Pulev in there, but Joshua's opening gambit of jabs earn him a slender 10-9. ROUND TWO Joshua is the first to really unload to a huge roar from the crowd, but it's all to the gloves of Pulev, who laughs it off. The Bulgarian makes his first real efforts to come after the champ but eats some solid shots each time.

By  Liam Happe Anthony Joshua opened the door for talks to unify the heavyweight division against Tyson Fury with a dominant performance at the SSE Arena, Wembley. Anthony Joshua dominated and then floored mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev to score a ninth-round knockout and retain his WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles at the SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday. With 1,000 ticket-buying fans allowed into the building for the first time at a British fight since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Joshua's entrance was met by a huge roar from the partisan crowd which was topped each of the four times he drove his Bulgarian adversary into deep trouble. After a slow feeling-out process, Joshua exploded in the third round with a series of hard shots that forced Pulev to back away from his opponent, triggering a standing count. "AJ" then added a good old-fashioned knockdown before the round was over for the 10-7 frame. To the challenger's credit, he was able to shake off the tumultuo...

Nigeria went into the match on the back of a disappointing 4-4 draw on Friday at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, with a promise of a better performance.
