Takam, who stood in as a substitute for the injured Kubrat Pulev two weeks before the fight , showed up to the 10th round as a strong opponent for Joshua. In the 10th round Takam had to take some impact hits, but was still agile in the upper body and avoided further wrestling from Joshua when the referee broke off the fight. Many fans as well as the boxing experts felt that the referee canceled it as premature and the two boxers also said after the fight that they would have liked to continue fighting.
