Joshua juggernaut rolls on despite Takam's tenacity

CARDIFF, United Kingdom - Anthony Joshua maintained his 100 per cent knockout ratio by stopping a bloodied Carlos Takam in the tenth round in Wales on Saturday night.

The Englishman retained his IBF and WBA world heavyweight titles with a devastating display of punching power to finish Cameroon's France-based challenger at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

Takam became Joshua's 20th consecutive knockout victim in a fourth defense of his IBF belt and first of his WBA title, but the challenger stubbornly resisted the champion after being cut by his right eye in the fourth.
