Anthony Joshua has gone to 20-0 now, after forcing a stoppage in the 10th round versus Carlos Takam.
It was a hard fought victory against the French-Cameroonian, who evidently has a chin made of steel.
After both of his eyes were cut, the ref had no choice but to end the fight after a viscous uppercut from the champ.
In his post-fight interview AJ outlined what's going to happened next, joking at first, saying: "Get my nose cracked back in place, number one.," before adding: "What do people want? Deontay Wilder?

"The Wilder fight has to happen."
There was a huge applause and cheers from the crowd, who clearly want to see the fight.
Eddie Hearn took to the mic, to obvious spatters of boos, but reiterated Joshua's comments.
He said that AJ vs Wilder has to happen, and it has to be in the UK. He also said that in 2018 it'll be a big year for the Brit, even saying that his fight against Tyson Fury will finally happen.
Take no credit away from Carlos Takam, however, who really put in an effort to make himself proud.

Prior to the fight AJ said: "I've known about Carlos Takam for a long time; he's a very, very well-rounded fighter. He was moving his way up the IVF rankings, so I've always had my eye on him anyway.
"I think Eddie did a great job in the sense of having someone in place, in case these type of mishaps happen, but when I heard I was fighting Takam, I thought: 'Of all people, this guy from Africa, very strong, game fighter.'
"I think he had one shot at a world title, and some people don't make the same mistakes twice. I'm watching him carefully because I think what I see on these videos, he'll come 20 percent, 30 percent more game, because this is his chance to kind of shock the world."
He certainly shocked a lot of us, taking plenty of fearsome shots well into the 10th.
