"You can see I came through, I got heart, I will keep on going," Anthony Joshua tells BBC Radio 5 live.

"You have to listen to your coaches in the ring because these things do happen in a boxing ring, then you recover and get back to doing what you do. Boxing is not complicated.

"Everything you do in a 10-week camp takes you through. You just keep going. 

"I'd like to re-match Dillian because he will give me rounds. He is very strong and very game."

"I'm going on to higher things now I've got rid of him."

It is worth remembering Anthony Joshua is now British and Commonwealth champion.

I'm not sure any heavyweight on the planet could have taken that uppercut. It was Rocky, Action Man and Hulk Hogan all rolled into one.

"They'll look at the tape and his camp won't be happy. Joshua got too emotional in there."

Wow, that was gripping. Seven rounds which Anthony Joshua will not forget for a long time. Dillian Whyte will be proud of them too when he regains his senses.

Honestly, that right uppercut was absolutely astounding. Whyte's head rocked back.

"It didn't look like it was going his way but he came of age tonight. All the questions about whether he can take a shot were answered tonight. 

"The right uppercut was a punch that would have knocked King Kong out."

Wow, a massive right hand is landed and even as he's tangled in the ropes with a referee trying to remove his mouthguard, Dillian Whyte is trying to get up...

He can't, there is no chance, his eyes are not with us. 

One right hand to the temple of Dillian Whyte set the end in motion and after his legs returned from being jelly like, he battled on, trying to grapple with Joshua to tie him up. Suddenly, near the ropes, Joshua landed a right upper cut which would have broken through stone.

Round Seven. After those early blows and the need for security in the ring after one round, I thought this would be done by the third.

A left jab and right hand catch the gloves of Whyte. But Joshua lands a right and Dillian Whyte is gone, his legs are jelly with two minutes of this round to go...

"Incredible round. I can see what Dillian Whyte is trying to do. It's very difficult for Joshua to catch him. Nothing is hitting the target cleanly."

There's a smile on Anthony Joshua's face as he jogs on the spot near the corner. We have seen the Instagram posts of him swimming, does he have a lot of fitness for the latter rounds?

A pinging right hand on the counter is sumptuous by the Olympic champion. He is ahead, no doubt, but there is drama to come here for sure.

"This is turning into a valuable process in the career of Anthony Joshua."

Anthony Joshua has never gone this far in a contest and is in uncharted water. Maybe that's why Dillian Whyte came into the ring to the sound of the Jaws soundtrack.

Left jab, right hand from Whyte don't land, he jerks his upper body to become hard to hit, left jab and then he jumps in with a right.

Anthony Joshua throws a right hand from behind his guard. It lands a little and the power sends Whyte backwards.

"Joshua has got to relax a bit more but he's winning this contest."

Anthony Joshua throws a left as a distraction shot and then lands with the right, Dillian Whyte throws a left, it's slipped and Joshua takes up the space it leaves to drill one into the body.

They clench, the O2 is engrossed, a shot to the ribs from Joshua and as they split, Whyte bobs on the spot as if to intimate he has plenty in the locker.

Dillian Whyte's pushing Joshua to his limits. Are we seeing the Olympic gold medallist's true potential?

A tight opening to the fifth, a slappy left from Anthony Joshua isn't going to cut the mustard but a good straight right was bang on. He smiles after it lands...

"It was Joshua's round but emotions are playing a big part in this contest. But I have Joshua 3-1 up in rounds."

A big, big right hand from Anthony Joshua and that shook the legs of Dillian Whyte, he visibly lost his balance.

Left hook, right cross from AJ, the guard of Whyte took the brunt of the sting, a feint from Whyte, he goes to the body but gets nothing.

The bell goes, the referee steps in to split them. This is a real grudge match. It's not boxing hype, they visibly want to break one another. The dislike is genuine.
