At that point Martin waited a long time to get up and the fight was waved off as he got to his feet at the count of ten.

Which VR headset should I buy?
“I need to improve if I’m going to maintain and keep pushing at a higher level”. “The development of VR technology is moving at an incredible pace and excitement is building about its potential”.
ANTHONY JOSHUA is only a day into his reign as IBF heavyweight champion but he’s made no secret of his desire to fight the biggest names in the sport. The event kicks off from 6:00pm onwards, with the title fight now scheduled for 11:00pm.
Should Joshua indeed defend his title on 9 July it would set put him on the same trajectory as Fury – who has called out the Olympic champion in recent weeks – and raise the tantalising proposition of an all-British heavyweight unification fight later in the year.
Joshua for the sheer enormity and power of the man will be a handful for any other heavyweight in the world.
A huge right hand proved to be the knockout blow, as Martin had no answers to the Watford-born fighter.
Following the win, Joshua said he would take on all comers in the heavyweight division.
“Probably the fastest hands in the heavy weight division and if we end up in the ring with Anthony Joshua in the future it would be definitely be something we were looking to use”. I’m training hard and I mean business.
Buzzing for the fans now as we are gurentee for some big heavyweight fights!!
The 26-year-old told BBC Radio 5 live: “The promoters are going to do their promoting, the fighters are going to do their fighting and the public are going to do their talking and I’m going to keep on walking”.
And he wants to start by silencing British rival Tyson Fury in a £40m blockbuster fight within the next 12 months. Fury couldn’t knock Chisora down and I knocked him out in five rounds. I’m pretty confident, however, both Fury and Joshua will emerge from their next bouts still undefeated, still champions and ready to do battle this winter.
As for Martin, no one is usre what is next for him, however in his last two fights on the world stage he failed to do anything impressive at all.

Hearn said Joshua could be back for his first defense on July 9 at Wembley Stadium in London, although that is the date on tap for the rematch between Fury and Wladimir Klitschko, who are also going to fight in England.
