Anthony Joshua (28W-3L-0D), one of the most iconic figures in modern boxing, recently stepped back into the ring in a highly anticipated match against UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou (Boxing: 0W-2L-0D – UFC: 17-3-0). This thrilling bout, titled ‘Knockout Chaos,’ was held in the vibrant city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, known for hosting some of the most electrifying boxing events in recent times.
The fight was originally scheduled to go the full 10 rounds, promising fans a night of intense, high-stakes action. However, Joshua’s overwhelming power and precision proved to be too much for Ngannou. Joshua knocked down Ngannou once in the 1st round, showcasing his signature combination of speed and strength. As the match progressed into the 2nd round, Joshua delivered two more devastating knockdowns, leading the referee to step in and call a halt to the contest, awarding Joshua a decisive victory by TKO.
This victory not only added another impressive win to Joshua’s already stellar record but also reignited discussions about his place among the all-time greats in heavyweight boxing. Eager to capitalize on this momentum, Joshua wasted no time in expressing his desire to challenge another formidable opponent, his fellow British professional boxer, Daniel ‘Dynamite’ Dubois (21W-2L-0D).
Daniel Dubois, a rising star in the heavyweight division, has quickly become known for his knockout power and relentless fighting style. The young boxer last faced Filip Hrgovic in a brutal contest that left a lasting impression on fans. During that bout, Dubois managed to land several powerful blows to Hrgovic’s face, ultimately opening up a deep cut above Hrgovic’s eyebrow. Despite Hrgovic’s valiant efforts, the match was stopped in the 8th round by the ringside doctor, marking a dramatic end to the fight with Dubois emerging victorious.
