Britain's Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title with a third-round stoppage of Eric Molina in Manchester.

Joshua, who was making the second defence of his belt, knocked the American down with a short right before the referee waved the fight off.

The 27-year-old now has 18 knockouts from as many fights and will face former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium on 29 April.

In a stirring WBC heavyweight title eliminator, Dillian Whyte beat Dereck Chisora via a split decision.

The Manchester Arena was a 21,000 sell-out and those in attendance included Klitschko, former heavyweight world champions Shannon Briggs and David Haye, and WBC cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew.

Just finished about 30 minutes ago and that was another impresive win for Anthony. Next fight against Wladimir Klitschko will be a much tougher affair though.

Should be a cracker
