Zlatan Ibrahimovic challenges Anthony Joshua to boxing match after Ngannou victory
After Anthony Joshua’s decisive victory over Francis Ngannou, former Sweden International Zlatan Ibrahimovic has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging the British boxer to a boxing match.
In a thrilling showdown on Friday night, Joshua comfortably triumphed over Cameroonian MMA fighter Ngannou, knocking him to the ground three times in just two rounds of fighting.
Following the bout, Ibrahimovic, aged 42, took to social media to issue the challenge to Joshua, posting a photo of himself alongside the British boxer with a caption that read, “Who would win? @anthonyjoshua.”
The challenge comes hot on the heels of Ngannou’s failed attempt to defeat Joshua, who emerged victorious in just six minutes of action. Ibrahimovic’s jokingly-put move suggests that he believes he could fare better against Joshua in the ring than Ngannou did.
That will not happen, instead, former world champion Anthony Joshua will push further for another World Heavyweight title shot.
