Anthony Joshua rediscovers his swagger with a destructive win over Francis Ngannou as British rival Tyson Fury watches on.
BBC Sport at Kingdom Arena, RiyadhAnthony Joshua was blissfully unaware of the drowsy steward slumped next to the railings in the Kingdom Arena, or the panic-stricken British reporter worrying if he would make his flight in less than five hours.
But in a blink of some weary eyes, the fight was over. Joshua scored a brutal second-round stoppage win over the former UFC champion. It was a statement victory made all the sweeter with Joshua's arch-nemesis, compatriot Tyson Fury, watching on. "Did I expect to win? I do my best," Joshua added. "I don't like to predict anything. Heavyweight boxing is a league of its own, different division. Anything can happen.Fury will contest the undisputed heavyweight crown against WBA, WBO and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk in May. A rematch is already in place but Saudi organisers and promoter Eddie Hearn would like the winner to face Joshua.
Davison - who previously trained Fury - linked up with Joshua late last year and has now guided him to two commanding stoppage wins. "I try not to get too down when things aren't going my way. I'm just chilling," Joshua added. "I'm not getting too ahead with myself. Rolling into the next one."
