Joshua's dominance continues with 17th straight KO in heavyweight title defense

The result was never in doubt on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London as Anthony Joshua dominated Dominic Breazeale, eventually ending the fight with a seventh-round knockout to improve to 17-0 with 17 KOs as a professional and retain his IBF heavyweight title.

Breazeale proved that he has a strong chin but not much else in the fight, getting thoroughly outclassed by the young Brit and serving mostly as a punching bag for Joshua for six rounds before finally succumbing to the onslaught of punches in the seventh.

Joshua sent Breazeale to the canvas early in the seventh round with a flurry that included a hard right cross that did most of the damage.
