In front of 90,000 people, Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Kltischko put on an instant classic of heavyweight boxing over the course of eleven rounds, before the younger Joshua emerged victorious.
And, as the English fans inside Wembley stadium went ballistic, professional fighters and promoters alike joined in. Here are a few of the best reactions:
