Anthony Joshua to fight Wladimir Klitschko after win over Eric Molina

                                  

Great Britain's Anthony Joshua retained his IBF world heavyweight title before it was announced he would be fighting Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in April.

Joshua produced a brutal third-round stoppage of Eric Molina in Manchester.

The outclassed American was floored with a crushing right hand and managed to get up, but Joshua finished it with another attack shortly afterwards.

Immediately after the fight, promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed Joshua would fight Klitschko on 29 April.

Joshua, 27, has won all 18 of his fights as a professional inside the distance, while 40-year-old Klitschko held versions of the world heavyweight title between 2006 and 2015 before losing to Britain's Tyson Fury in November 2015.

Joshua dominated against Molina, as the American looked out of his depth from the start and was unable to land any successful punches.
