It's Thursday and AllNews travels back in time to August 2012 when British boxer of Nigerian descent, Anthony Joshua won the Olympic super-heavyweight gold in London.
Now-world heavyweight champion 'AJ' met 32-year-old reigning Olympic champion and former two-time world champion, Roberto Cammarelle of Italy in the closing bout.
After conceding the first two rounds (6:5 and 13:10) to Cammarelle, an adversary he had already beaten the previous year, Joshua (then 22) grew into the fight and fought back to level the scores after the third round (18:18). Joshua was announced winner via count-back and the new Olympic champion.
