Anthony Joshua is once again a dangerous force in the heavyweight division following his win over Francis Ngannou.
The two fighters went head-to-head this past weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and it was a contest which Joshua dominated.
After flooring Ngannou twice, it took a third Joshua right hand to bring the fight to an early end in the second round and this performance did not reflect too well on WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury who was sat ringside.
Fury fought Ngannou in October and the British fighter did not look his best, but despite being knocked down in the third round of that particular contest, he still managed to emerge victorious with a split decision.
Speaking to Boxing Scene, former world super middleweight champion Carl Froch claimed that Joshua's one-sided victory over Ngannou has shown that Fury is on the decline when it comes to his ability inside the ring.
“Fury must have just been having a really bad night – or, like I think, Fury’s past his best. He’s seen better days," Froch said.
“I study the sport and I study the fights, and Tyson Fury used to throw 30-plus feints a round. Feint, feint. Draw his opponent in, feint. Double jab, right hand. He’s not doing the feints anymore. He’s doing four or five feints. He’s slow on his feet.
“He’s been knocked down five times [in recent years]. When you’re hitting the floor and getting hit on the chin and not throwing feints and not as busy as you used to be, that means you’re past your best and you’re on the decline and you’re on the slide.”
