A braver American came. An idolised Englishman still sent him the same way as the paper champion who came to these shores and went home without his world heavyweight title. Anthony Joshua's first defence of that IBF belt lasted longer than the night he won it - and set the pulses racing faster. Dominic Breazeale hung around three times longer than Charles Martin had in this same ring at London's 02 Arena 11 weeks earlier, but the end was just as inevitable. It came after just under seven rounds of brutal punishment. Great credit goes to the taller man from California for restoring the image of the brave American boxer, which Martin had tarnished.
