between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou on the Knockout Chaos boxing card at the Kingdom Arena on March 08, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In a period when boxing has gotten a bad name, Joshua destroyed former UFC champion-turned-boxer Francis Ngannou in two rounds.
Less than three months after Ngannou embarrassed and nearly defeated Tyson Fury in the former's boxing debut, Joshua did to him what most believed the lineal heavyweight champ should have done. A fit Fury was ringside to see Joshua's performance, and the latter called his rival out for a fight later in the year. Matchroom's Eddie Hearn was in the ring talking up the potentially colossal bout, but Fury has to take care of business against Oleksandr Usyk in May before he can face Joshua.
At 34, Joshua looks as good and focused as he has ever been. If Fury defeat Usyk, the meeting between him and Joshua will be one of the biggest heavyweight fights in history. As for Ngannou's next fight, it will likely be in mixed martial arts.
