Amosov: "Joshua saved boxing."

Former Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov reacted to the outcome of the fight between former WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belt holder Anthony Joshua and former UFC heavyweight division leader Francis Ngannou.

Their fight was the main event of a boxing night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight ended in the second round after Joshua knocked out Ngannou. The Cameroonian had been knocked down twice before that.

"Joshua saved boxing," - laconically expressed the Ukrainian on his page in social network X.

Recall that the fight with Joshua became for Ngannou the second performance in professional boxing. Debuted in the ring "Predator" in October last year, losing to Tyson Fury by split decision of judges in a competitive confrontation.
