Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou took place on March 8th, 2024. This was AJ’s 31st professional boxing bout and FN’s 2nd- his 1st being against reigning heavy-weight champion Tyson Fury.
Anthony Joshua is considered to be in the top 5, if not the best heavy-weight fighter that is currently active. His only losses come from another well-experienced fighter named Oleksandr Usyk.
As for Ngannou, although not having anywhere near as much boxing experience as Joshua, he is expected to put up a difficult fight or even out class his opponent..
Ultimately, a non-boxer outclassing the literal champion but still losing made people fury-ous (sneaky pun).
However, people are now suggesting AJ is worthy of being the best due to making easy work of Ngannou while the champion Fury struggled and even robbed the victory.
“I did not expect Anthony Joshua to win. I thought since Ngannou made Fury look easy, he would also do the same to AJ,” said Carson High School senior Daemian Coronado.
Fighters made money, so the outcome doesn't matter.
Much respect and luck to all of their future appearances.
