British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua has achieved another milestone after beating Cameroonian-French professional boxer Carlos Takam to retain his WBA and IBF heavyweight titles on Saturday night.

According to Jeff Powell's Scorecard, Joshua won six rounds in the bloody clash to emerge victorious at the Cardiff's Principality Stadium, while Takam who came as a surprise opponent for the bout after Cubrat Pulev withdrew from fighting the British boxer after suffering a shoulder injury won 4 rounds.
