Anthony Joshua reveals where he wants to fight next after beating Carlos Takam

Joshua’s stock continued to grow after he beat Carlos Takam to retain his IBF and WBA heavyweight world titles.

Takam stood in for the injured Kubrat Pulev and he put in a brave display before the referee Phil Edwards stepped in to end the contest.

Joshua, who is now unbeaten in his 20 professional bouts, could face the reigning WBC champion Deontay Wilder next providing he beats fellow American Bermane Stiverne next Saturday.

And Joshua is adamant he has no desire to fight in the bright lights of Las Vegas anytime soon.

“I want to continue growing the sport of boxing,” Joshua said.

“It’s not my decision what happens out the ring, but what do you want UK?

“We’ve got London, Wales, Ireland and Scotland.

“Where else? Vegas? I think people want me to stay here.

“It’s a beautiful thing – look at what boxing is doing.

“You have people from different backgrounds and people flying in from different countries.

“It’s bringing boxing back and uniting people, so let’s continue to grow boxing in the UK.”

Although he won by stoppage, Joshua insists he has “no interest” in what the officials do.

He added: “I come to fight, I don’t sit on the edge and make decisions.

“It was a good fight until the ref stopped it, so I have the utmost respect for Takam.

“I have no interest in what is going on with the officials, that’s not my job. I think people want to see Takam unconscious on the floor, and that’s what I was trying to get to.”
