Dana White congratulates Anthony Joshua following TKO win over Wladimir Klitschko

Anthony Joshua’s electrifying 11th round TKO win over Wladimir Klitschko in Saturday’s historic main event at Wembley Stadium caught the attention of UFC president Dana White. Following Joshua’s triumph over one of the Heavyweight division’s all-time greats, White wrote a short statement on his Instagram page congratulating the 27-year-old Brit on his performance.

“Boxing had been DYING waiting for an exciting heavyweight champ,” White said. “Now they have it in Anthony Joshua CONGRATS champ.”

That “exciting heavyweight champ” line does bring back some memories of how he viewed both Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko.
