Anthony Joshua extended his perfect record with a 12th straight knockout victory against Brazilian Raphael Zumbano Love in Birmingham.

The Olympic gold medallist secured the win after sending Love sprawling to the canvas one minute and 21 seconds into the second round at the Barclaycard Arena.

Joshua next faces a step up in class when he takes on former heavyweight world title challenger Kevin Johnson later this month at London's O2 Arena.

"I'm feeling more confident with every fight," said Joshua, who came face-to-face with Johnson in the ring after his fight.

"I'm fighting this man in a few weeks and looking forward to getting some rounds in.

"I don't mind how many rounds Kevin and I last in London as long as we put on a good show for the fight."
