In the fight against Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on March 8th, Anthony Joshua made a big statement by winning in the second round. The British fighter, who aims to face the winner of the Fury – Usyk fight, showcased his technical superiority over the Cameroonian opponent.
The fight quickly ended without much resistance. Anthony Joshua, who was stronger and more technical, only needed two rounds to remind Francis Ngannou that he still had to improve to compete with him. His knockout victory in the second round allowed the British boxer to restore his reputation after setbacks against Ruiz in 2019 and Usyk in 2021 and 2022.
After his impressive performance against Ngannou, Anthony Joshua expressed his ambitions by stating: “Those who said Joshua was finished, that Joshua should retire… Joseph Parker is one of my favorite fighters, he has gone through tough times but he always moves forward, and it’s the same for me. I just want to fight. My next opponent will be the winner of Usyk-Fury.”
Showing sportsmanship after the fight, Anthony Joshua encouraged Francis Ngannou to continue in boxing by saying: “Don’t leave boxing, you are the next Tyson. He only had two boxing matches and he faced the best. If you need anything, we’ll talk about it later.”
With this spectacular and quick victory over Ngannou, the 34-year-old boxer now aims to face the winner of the World Heavyweight Championship between Tyson Fury and Alexander Usyk on May 18th.
