Anthony Joshua was a two-time unified world champion in the heavyweight division. AJ held the titles of the World Boxing Association (WBA), International Boxing Federation (IBF), and World Boxing Organization (WBO) twice. Additionally, he also held the International Boxing Organization (IBO) belt twice. The Briton secured three victories in his last three bouts. In April 2023, he defeated American Jermaine Franklin (unanimous decision). He then went on to defeat Finn Robert Helenius (knockout, seventh round) and Swede Otto Wallin (knockout, fifth round). The 34-year-old Englishman boasts a record of 27 wins (24 by knockout). Joshua is also an Olympic champion from London.
Francis Ngannou is a former UFC heavyweight champion. The renowned UFC puncher had one boxing match. The Predator faced undefeated British boxer Tyson Fury in October 2023, losing by split decision. However, many experts considered the victory for Gypsy King dubious. Fury was knocked down in the third round, and Ngannou came close to an early victory in the eighth round as well. The 37-year-old Frenchman has a record of 17 wins (12 by knockout) and three losses in mixed martial arts.
