  1. Round six

    We're into round six. Kubrat Pulev, who suffered the toughest of tough third rounds, is still in there, still throwing and still dangerous.

  2. Hanging on again

    Lovely jab from Joshua and another right hand - Pulev has to hang on again.

  3. Round 5

    Another good round for Anthony Joshua in the fifth as Pulev continues to take heavy shots to the head and continues to rock. But the Bulgarian is a tough, tough man and keeps trying to come forward.

    Anthony Joshua still with a huge lead after five though.

  5. Into the fifth. I didn't think this would get out of the third when Pulev had those two counts. One, he was held up by the ropes, the second time, just like what happened to Wladimir Klitschko a few years ago, Pulev is smashed by a brutally brilliant uppercut.

    However, Anthony Joshua, maybe weary of what happened to him in the first Andy Ruiz fight when he knocked the Mexican down but then got knocked down himself soon after, is cautious in the fourth. Learning from a tough experience.

    Joshua seemed to be very cautious.

    Interesting round. I had a feeling his corner would tell Joshua not to go crazy, but maybe he took that to an extreme.

  8. Kubrat PulevMark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing

    That third round was a huge round for Anthony Joshua. Kubrat Pulev has to use every bit of experience he has got to stay out of trouble in the fourth

  9. Mike Costello
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    After a torrid third round for Pulev this time he is managing to stand his ground. He is managing to get something back in terms of those scrambled senses.

  10. We're into the fourth and it's still going on. Somehow. Kubrat Pulev has had two counts. We looked like being seconds from it all being over.

    He did quit. He ran into his corner. The referee should have stopped the fight there and then.

  13. Steve Bunce
    Boxing pundit on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Pulev turned his back and quit. He ran to the corner.

  14. Mike Costello
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Pulev lands a shot after the bell and Joshua responds in kind. Joshua is fully in control

    Pulev is still on rubbery legs. Pulev is really struggling and now he goes down.

  17. Pulev knocked down - gets up

    A cracking right uppercut helps send Kubrat Pulev to the canvas. But the Bulgarian is still in this one, just about.

  18. We continue

  19. Mike Costello
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    A right hand from Joshua gets through and Pulev is screaming as if to say he is not hurt, but he is badly shaken.

  20. Pulev given a count

    An attack from Anthony Joshua and Kubrat Pulev is only kept on his feet by the ropes. But that's enough and the referee starts the count...
