Let's get ready to rumble!
90,000, will it be Joshua with ease?
Or is there a sunset at his finest hour at Wembley Wayback, Carlos Tarkan?
Tries the left hook, but Joshua was in shape.
In shape for this though.
Very different one to pull out.
Very different.
It looked like a heavy clash ahead.
Josh looking like he's going to work here slightly.
Few believe it will.
And that certainly spurred Joshua.
A bit wild from Joshua, but there's a lot of blood.
Not wobble, not shaking, nothing like that.
But the nose.
What they say in boxing, you've got to go through all sorts.
Look at that head going in.
That was really nasty.
He's broken his nose immediately.
You can see the reaction from Anthony, but it's not just that.
As soon as that gap's closed, he's certainly not going looking for Joshua.
He's only there now for Joshua.
He's got all that experience, Carlos Tarkan.
He's out, he's trying to get in range of that jab.
Looking for the right hand.
He's been happy to gain there.
And the left hand from Tarkan.
And Josh giving him a real confidence boost there.
He was with Jean-Marc Mormet.
He's got to watch that aggressive counter from Tarkan.
Because he's looking at firing back.
Maybe there'll be stamina issues if Joshua doesn't stop him early.
That could come back to haunt him.
When he outlasted him in the Ukraine.
But Joshua has that power.
And that's a nasty cut for Tarkan.
That's worse than Joshua.
Joshua would be right on him.
Both still standing.
And Tarkan's going to go for it.
He's got to work hard on that.
Get the adrenaline going.
Punch that caused the cut.
Unlike the head clash that caused the nose.
He's in the corner.
And they're looking at the cut.
And I think they're going to pull him out.
Maybe return on his stool here after four rounds.
What does Carlos Tarkan want to do?
He'll want to go on.
He's confident.
He's blocking his vision.
I think he's going to just go for it now.
You can see it.
He's wincing.
It's affecting him.
And he must never have been caught like this before.
This is good combination punching from Anthony Joshua here.
Good work from Josh.
Blood pouring from the eye of Tarkan.
I think Joshua's over that.
His predatory instincts have seen it.
And his nose and his blood as well.
Attempts the uppercut.
He just needs to keep himself composed.
But Tarkan's still dangerous.
He would have had to deal with Kubrat Puno.
You can see that both are wounded.
But it seems like Anthony Joshua is dealing with the problem better.
These are good shots.
He's not going to want to quit here.
But he's digging in now.
Stubborn.
Brave.
It's a horrendous putt, Adam, to be fair to Carlos Tarkan.
And he's shipping an awful lot of punishment.
They're going to have another look at him, I'm sure, in between the rounds.
Two warriors, though.
All professional career.
The broken nose earlier, which we suspect.
From Noisy Le Grand in Paris.
Father Cameroon.
What would be one of the biggest sensations.
And we weren't a 12-round sport because
down the stretch of the championship.
Right hand from Joshua there.
Back Tarkan comes.
Whistles Tarkan.
To go in with the most feared man,
possibly apart from Deontay Warrior,
who's in recess in the heavyweight world.
And he's taking Joshua.
So he's putting heavy shots together.
Good uppercut, though.
Joshua found it.
And the eye is a complete mess.
We don't want this to be ended with an injury or a cut.
We want to see this fight finish conclusively.
He's trying to...
He's targeting the body of Anthony Joshua past Tarkan.
And he keeps going for Anthony Joshua.
Yeah, he's landed some nice hooks.
Around the body of Joshua.
And that will affect him later on.
But going very far.
It's a very, very big...
We say it's not going very far.
It's gone halfway.
I think that cut at some stage is going to stop him for Takum.
He seems to have got through that.
The referee is happy with what he's seen.
The doctor's allowed it to go.
You know, there we say,
can we disregard the cut now of Takum's eye?
Joshua's winning every round for me.
But Takum's still there
as we enter the second half of the fight.
His brother's in there.
One of many brothers that Carlos...
...as commentators and journalists.
As he lands a right hand there, Carlos.
Both eyes cut.
And he's still blasting away.
Right hand from Takum.
He hasn't really been able to hurt Joshua
at the end of the game.
Big shots from Carlos Takum.
He's still full of energy.
All that to Viking that he loves so much.
Standing in an excellent state.
Showing a bit of bravery there himself.
Firing back after getting cornered.
Big right hand from Joshua.
But still Takum.
Yes, he's had him down.
Yes, he's had him wobbled.
But no real signs...
...of a good right hand from Takum.
Five wins, Carlos Takum.
He's not a powder puncher.
And maybe later on...
...and he's starting to...
...with two round eyes.
He's slowed down.
Maybe because he wants to.
Maybe he wants to take his time on box ball.
He's under pressure here.
And this will get from their camp.
But that's a good shot from Joshua.
And he's still in there.
It's been decades, Adam Simpson...
...of this beautiful heavyweight championship...
...on literally two weeks' notice.
Nobody's done it in decades.
Rolling on.
And he's still...
...feeling the pace of these rounds.
He's worked a lot.
He's done a lot of work.
And this guy, Takum...
...he's still in his arsenal.
So, don't be surprised if we see the end.
Good uppercut.
Again, the big thick legs of Carlos.
But ultimately...
...it was a touring battle.
And he's still complaining.
So, he's not happy about our stoppage.
Phil Edwards.
Very experienced referee.
Having a look at these damaging shots going in.
Nothing really coming back.
You see him slow.
He's hurt.
He's slowed down.
I mean, you can't argue with...
That's why they're booing.
No one boos at an Anthony Joshua fight.
But I understand where they're coming from.
You know, he's a proud man.
He's done unbelievable...
You're running the dangers.
If you let this go on...
He's running the dangers that he could get hit.
Looked like he was on course anyway.
Winning the rounds.
And although some sticky moments.
And...
And what we'll remember from this...
...is the effort, energy and substance...
Barely over six foot.
It's big drastic changes.
Anthony...
...Joshua.
