I'm exhausted now. Got a sore throat as well.
Thought it was all over in the 6th, brilliant recovery from AJ. Well done Joshua. Cliff

What a superb fight,great display from both fighters.Only thing I can't understand is why Klitschko didn't move in to try finish it after the knockdown in the 6th when AJ was out on is feet.Congrat's to AJ,showed great character when needed.

Round 5 and 6 amazing and to get to 11.
Joshua also said its about leaving ego at the door before a fight. What a gentleman and think he is a future figure for young people getting into boxing All respect to Klitscho after waiting to talk about the better man winning.

Great fight, both men deserve credit. Best post-fight words? "Two gentlemen fought, I say gentlemen because we are in England."

A rematch is being touted among the options Joshua now has.I can't see that being realistic or bringing a different result.Klitschko had a brilliant chance to move in and finish off AJ after putting him down in the sixth but for reasons known only to himself he held back and allowed AJ to recover.Something I think Klitschko will reflect on for a very long time to come after he watches the fight back.He's had a fantastic career and should now call it a day imo.

Had to laugh earlier, watching the BBC news and just happened to have the subtitles on, Anthony Joshua came up on the subtitles as Angela Joshua. That's a good way to get a thick lip!
