Former opponent Wladimir Klitschko reacts to Joshua fight this past weekend with Takam and fight fans are responding in their droves.
Not long ago it was Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko sharing the ring in a stadium for the heavyweight titles when the pair fought back in April at Wembley stadium.
Following the bout Klitschhko called time on his legendary career and retired from the sport.
But, he’s still been following the progress of his former rival and young champion Anthony Joshua and was a keen observer of last weekend’s event in Wales.
Speaking on social media today, Klitschko reacts to Joshua fight with Takam by saying:
Congrats Champ and keep on punching! pic.twitter.com/GNGIQfX9KW

A class act as always, Klitschko.
The fight fraternity are pleased with the Ukraine native’s sentiments who have been reacting in their numbers to it online already:
Class. If he can be half the champion you were, then he’s doing something right.
