What Tyson Fury said on Anthony Joshua’s victory
Following Anthony Joshua’s stunning knockout victory over Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Tyson Fury offered his honest reaction to the electrifying bout.
Tyson Fury, who previously faced Ngannou at the Kingdom Arena in October, secured a narrow victory in a lackluster performance that left many questioning the outcome.
Despite emerging victorious on the judges’ scorecards, Fury struggled against the debuting Cameroonian, enduring a knockdown in the third round and facing criticism for his performance.
Anticipation surrounded Ngannou’s return to the ring against Joshua, given his impressive showing in their previous encounter.
However, Joshua, a two-time world heavyweight champion, displayed exceptional boxing prowess, swiftly dispatching Ngannou in just two rounds with a clinical performance.
Following two knockdowns, Joshua sealed the deal with a devastating right-hand blow that left Ngannou in need of medical attention, though he thankfully managed to rise to his feet.
With his victory, Joshua extended his professional record to 28-3, expressing his desire to face Fury in what would undoubtedly be a monumental bout in boxing history.
Fury, currently scheduled to face Oleksandr Usyk in two upcoming bouts for the undisputed heavyweight titles, commended Joshua for his impressive win.
In an interview with DAZN, Fury acknowledged Joshua’s exceptional performance, stating,
“AJ did absolutely fantastic and lit him up with a right hand. If he fights me after I beat Usyk twice then it will be a different game.”
