As a result, Joshua lost the opportunity to be the dominant force in the heavyweight division once more.
However, a formidable adversary has recently entered the debate. A challenger to Anthony Joshua for an African fight, similar to the legendary ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali in 1974, is the rising heavyweight Martin Bakole of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

After stopping American heavyweight fighter Jared Anderson in the fifth round, Bakole’s profile shot up.
In a recent interview, Bakole expressed his desire to take the struggle to his home continent by highlighting the involvement of the president of his country and his readiness to serve as an ambassador for Riyadh Season.
Joshua’s career is far from done because his victories over Francis Ngannou, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Jermaine Franklin have rekindled his ambitions.
Joshua’s newfound partnership with trainer Ben Davison has restored his confidence, and many believe he has acquired the mental toughness needed to compete at the greatest level.
In an attempt to win three world titles, Joshua is now preparing for a crucial bout against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 21.
If he prevails, all eyes will be on a potential unification bout with the victor of the Usyk-Tyson Fury rematch.
