Carl Froch has heaped praise on Anthony Joshua after the way the Brit boxer conducted himself following his victory over Francis Ngannou earlier this month.
Joshua continued his winning streak by brutally dispatching the former UFC star with a comprehensive second-round knockout in the main event of the Day of Reckoning showpiece.
Upon beating Ngannou, Joshua took to the mic to address his performance and the victory in a manner that impressed former world champion Froch.
So much so, he told InstantCasinos.com just how impressed he was with Joshua in the aftermath of his win.
“I thought he was classy in the way in which he won," Froch said.
"I thought he spoke really well. He mentioned Rob McCracken and he thanked all his previous trainers, which was nice. I thought he did himself proud.
"It was a very good performance from AJ but it was an awful performance from Ngannou. He said he fell asleep in the changing room before. I don't know what was going on or what was wrong with him.
“You have to give AJ credit. You can't just piss on his parade because he's wiped him out and he's only had two fights. Ngannou gave Tyson Fury a good fight.
"AJ went in there knowing that he'd given Tyson Fury a good fight. So he had to get in there and believe in himself. He had to throw his punches with conviction, follow through with his shots and turn the punch through, which he’s started doing now.”
