The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has recently managed to produce massive boxing events. Heavyweights have taken over the area, and the division will again take center stage when Anthony Joshua faces Francis Ngannou.

Joshua has been competing professionally since 2013 after starting boxing at 18. The 34-year-old has faced some of the best the sport has to offer. At the elite heavyweight level for a while, one would think he’s at the tail end of his career. However, with three victories in 2023, Joshua believes he’s just getting started.

“I’m just building,” Joshua said via Boxing Scene. “It’s also the first time since 2017 that I’ve had three fights, like back-to-back, so maybe getting back in the gym and getting consistent is starting to pay off again. That’s why fighters do so well on their way up, because they’re in there fighting every other week, and they look amazing. The minute you get to the top, it’s like it all slows down, and the only way out when you get to the top is retirement. And I’m just trying to rebuild again and get that activity. I don’t feel like I’m on my way out, I feel I’m still on my way up.” 

Ngannou showed an interest in boxing when he was younger. He left Cameroon and even attempted to join the sport, but later turned his attention to MMA. With a powerful punch, Ngannou still wanted to involve himself in the sport. He finally got an opportunity, facing Tyson Fury, knocking down the WBC heavyweight champion in a losing effort. His next test is against Joshua, and he hopes to continue his new venture for a long time.
