Joshua,
28, damaged his nose in a heavy head collision early on and did not have things
all his own way against a fighter who took the bout at 12 days' notice.
But in a key fourth round in which both men
enjoyed success, Joshua dropped his man with a hook and badly damaged the eye
of his rival.
Takam was twice inspected by ringside medics
but battled on until he was overwhelmed in the 10th, when referee Phil Edwards
stepped in to end the contest, much to the challenger's frustration.
Takam, 36, was under pressure but not out on
his feet and some inside the Cardiff venue booed the stoppage.
