You heard it here first guys, Anthony Joshua is good at boxing.

The Watford heavyweight increased his knockout streak to 12 as he patted away Raphael Zumbano Love within five minutes. AJ looked visibly superior in every department in a first round during which the Englishman showed devastating power, even when just hitting the gloves of his opponent. In the second round, Joshua really came alive and needed just one clean right hand to put the Brazilian on his back. From there, there was no hope of a Love comeback as the 34-year-old struggled to get back to his feet, stumbling into the ropes as he attempted to protest the referee's decision. We won't have to wait long to see Joshua's next outing as he is slated to face American Kevin Johnson at the O2 Arena in London later this month.
