Another dramatic and emotional night in Anthony Joshua's boxing career ultimately ended as just about everyone expected it would - with the countdown under way to a super-fight against Tyson Fury later in the year.
Joshua, 36, improved his record to 30-4, but he was almost on the end of one of the biggest shocks in his sport's history when he was knocked down twice by little-known Albanian Kristian Prenga inside the first round.
The Briton regrouped in the second round to land a flurry of hard right hands, sending Prenga crashing to the canvas and getting the win he came to Jeddah for.
BBC Sport has selected some of the best pictures from the fight, which came seven months on from the car crash in Nigeria in which Joshua was injured and two of his closest friends died.
