The former WBO,WBA,IBF Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua has made a boxing statement that he is the “Raw Deal” now when it comes to boxing after knocking out the MMA fighter turned boxer Francis Ngannou in the second round of the bout in Saudi Arabia.
Anthony Joshua’s fight record (27-3,24 KO) against Francis Ngannou (1-1,0 KO) but it was obvious for Joshua whose comeback after losing twice against Oleksandr Usyk have been encouraging with three straight wins. Francis Ngannou switched from MMA to boxing and got the whole world talking about him after his devastating fight against the Gypsy King, Tyson Fury.
Anthony Joshua warmed into the fight with some body shots in the first round and then dropped Ngannou too during the latter part of the round. The second round he moved in to cause damage with his right hand which is the weapon of destruction. He dropped Ngannou with a ferocious right but Francis beat the count and then Joshua punished him again his the right hand that made him receive oxygen for survival.
After the fight Eddie Hearn said, I know Anthony Joshua will become the undisputed World Champion again and this is just the beginning of it.
