The action was similar to what WWE Hall of Famers D-Generation X used to perform, known as the ‘crotch crop’.

The referee didn’t even need to start a count as Helenius crashed to the canvas in worrying fashion.

The 39-year-old was then given oxygen before thankfully getting back to his feet.

Joshua, who was bloody around the face, then exited the ring and celebrated his stunning stoppage success with fans ringside, fist-bumping some and hugging the lucky few.

And unlike in his last few fights, the Watford brawler didn’t seem to want the microphone after the victory.

Speaking to DAZN afterwards, AJ said: “People need to leave me alone, this is my time in the ring.

“Let me keep doing what I want to do. Helenius, I told him to come again. I think he can cause people a lot of problems.

“I don’t want to say too much. I want to see you again two more times this year. Thanks to Eddie.”

The 33-year-old then spent a while posing for fans left in the O2 Arena.

But some of those inside the London venue were less-than impressed half way through the bout.

There were audible boos as Joshua seemed reluctant to fully engage his late-replacement opponent despite tagging him on the inside.
