Joshua knocked out Klitschko in the 11th round, sending the Ukrainian crashing to the floor.
Three times did the 27-year-old knockout Klitschko, once in the fifth round and twice more in the crucial 11th.
He now takes his record to 19 wins in 19 fights.
For Joshua’s uncle Adedamola Joshua in Sagamu, the ancestral village of the England boxer, the boxer got the boxing talent from his granddad.
According to Adedamola, Joshua’s granddad once took out three men all by himself in a fight.
The uncle said this to ace sports journalist Colin Udoh who went to cover a massive viewing party that was held for Joshua’s big fight in Sagamu.
