Anthony Joshua made headlines on Saturday night by defeating Joseph Parker and claiming the WBO World heavyweight championship title to his collection.
The current unified WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO champion had the whole boxing world watching as he outpointed the Kiwi and won via unanimous decision.

It was no surprise when Joshua called out his future opponent Deontay Wilder after the fight and hours after the WBC World heavyweight champion responded on social media.

“What a robbery…WOW,” wrote Wilder.
Joshua’s other potential future opponent Tyson Fury was also watching and posted very critical videos of the main event, mainly taking aim at ‘AJ.’
