Anthony Joshua pledged to learn from his brutal defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr in New York in June.

He vowed to become a more sensible boxer, to not be overwhelmed by the scars of being knocked to the canvas four times.

On Saturday night, under an Arabian sky which had produced rather more rain than one might have expected in the desert, he came good on his promises.

He may have slimmed down for this fight but he was carrying more baggage than ever before, aiming not only to regain his four title belts but to save his reputation as a genuine heavyweight champion.

If Joshua had lost this fight, it would have been ruinous.

He would no longer be looking at paydays like the £60m he received to come to Diriyah, the birthplace of the Saudi kings.

He put together arguably the most complete performance of his career in the biggest fight since he won Olympic gold at London 2012.
