Anthony Joshua faces Francis Ngannou knowing victory could open up one of the most exciting periods in his career as he targets becoming a three-time world champion.
Anthony Joshua keeps coming. Again and again. His global allure undeterred by setbacks, his will to hit back more than a match for his sceptics and his power - when unleashed - still one of the scintillating flashpoints in the modern fight game. Whether relaunch or retaliation, his renewed pursuit of boxing's pinnacle resumes in less orthodox circumstances on Friday when he pits his knockout exploits against that of former UFC star Francis Ngannou.
Then came the wry smile of an epiphanic Charles Martin - the Brit’s gateway to world titles - as he was sat down by a vicious right hand from Joshua, who slouched in his corner and shrugged his shoulders as if in wait of the real challenge while becoming IBF champion with a second-round stoppage victory in April 2016.
