The last winning fight with Francis Ngannou
When asked about his last fight with Ngannou, which he won by a second-round knockout, Joshua replied; “I was preparing for 10 rounds of a tough fight. The guy is a big, strong guy with a different feel because he’s an MMA fighter. He’s a tough guy. I thought I would still be victorious, and it happened a lot sooner than I expected.
“You don’t get along with some fighters, so sometimes there’s no conversation after. There’s a level of respect as well—me and Ngannou had a lot of respect. I gave him encouragement because the guy’s had an amazing career. Don’t let that one blip in his career become the defining moment. I’ve lost before; it’s tough”.
Potential fight with Tyson Fury
when asked about the possibility of a potential fight with Tyson Fury, the former unified heavyweight champion who has turned 34 years now said; “Fury is one of my rivals; this is someone I want to compete with one day. So everything he says, I’ve got it all stored in the back of my memory, and when the fight happens, I’m going to use it as a lot of fuel.”
