The three men mentioned in the ring after Anthony Joshua's intriguing victory in Cardiff yesterday - Joseph Parker, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury - will have all felt a desire to fight the high-profile Englishman after watching the bout and perhaps as soon as possible.
Joshua's victory over Carlos Takam at the Principality Stadium was straightforward enough - he won virtually every round against an increasingly bloody Takam, who suffered cuts over both eyes before referee Phil Edwards stopped the fight (prematurely according to many, including this writer), in the 10th round.
It was understandable that Edwards made the decision he did, for Takam had taken a clean shot from the powerful Joshua and at the back of the official's mind would have been the fact the 36-year-old's facial cuts had been regularly inspected by a ring-side doctor.
And yet, Takam deserved to see out the 12 rounds despite the fact he wouldn't have won the fight. He didn't seem hurt, and was defending himself. He almost certainly would have set about counter-punching Joshua as he had all evening.
Takam was extremely disappointed at the decision and so were many among the 80,000 crowd, and boos aren't often heard at a Joshua fight apart from when they are directed at the boxer's promoter Eddie Hearn. It highlighted that Joshua was having real difficulty getting Takam out of there despite the fact his opponent, a ring-in for Kubrat Pulev, had prepared for the bout for only 12 days.
