And to be honest, I haven’t been that impressed with him.”

He [Oleksandr Usyk] does what he’s got to do; he has got his wins, been paid. He gets the job done, and he goes home. So that’s what it is about,” Fury continued.

Once potential opponent for Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder suffers 45 second TKO loss in Poland

By
Anthony Joshua Deontay Wilder

Kownacki, who just five years ago boasted a perfect 20-0 record and was touted as a potential opponent for the likes of Anthony Joshua, endured what could be his final professional career outing.

The Polish heavyweight lasted just 45 seconds in the first round as Meyna connected with a number of big shots before the referee stepped in to stop the bout.

This is the fifth straight defeat for Kownacki, with the 34-year-old previously losing to Joe Cusumano, Ali Eren Demirezen and twice to Robert Helenius.

Just a few years ago, the Pole was seen by many as a serious contender as he picked up victories over former world title holders Charles Martin and Chris Arreola.

Any hopes of a championship opportunity were dashed by his continuing losing run.

More concerning than the defeats themselves is the manner in which Kownacki has suffered them.

Francis Ngannou has been given a long list of instructions as he prepares to take on Anthony Joshua next week.

Ngannou, who dropped Tyson Fury on his professional boxing debut last October before falling to a narrow split-decision after 10 rounds, goes into Friday’s clash as a significant underdog. Joshua has won his last three fights and knows victory could propel him into another world title fight.

One of those victories last year came against Jermain Franklin and the heavyweight has offered Ngannou some advice ahead of his second boxing bout. “Francis needs to do these five things,” he told Action Network. “1. He needs to come out fast and bully AJ, Joshua does not like to be bullied. 2. He must use his jab to set up his power, he cannot look for one shot to take him out. 3. Francis needs to stay patient and wait for the opening like he did with Fury. 4. He will need to take AJ’s power, and if he can do that, he has a major chance to win. 5. He must focus on working the body and using angles to counter AJ’s power.

Ben Davison is the man behind Anthony Joshua’s resurgence after masterminding Tyson Fury’s comeback… he could be AJ’s secret weapon to topple the Gypsy King if he can dispatch Francis Ngannou first

Ben Davison Anthony Joshua Tyson Fury Francis Ngannou

Prior to Anthony Joshua‘s fight with Otto Wallin in December, it was not exactly clear which direction the Brit’s career was heading.

In his previous four fights, Joshua had worked with three different trainers, and not looked entirely convincing with any of them in his corner.

Joshua’s long-term coach Rob McCracken was dumped after his first loss to Oleksandr Usyk, and Robert Garcia couldn’t change the result in the rematch. In came another American, Derrick James, but Joshua still only laboured to wins over fringe contenders Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.

When the two-time heavyweight champion announced he would be trying another trainer to take on Wallin, it appeared he was lacking clarity on how he wanted to go about his business.

But Joshua proved the doubters wrong. With the highly-rated Ben Davison in his corner, AJ looked back to his brutal best as he broke down his opponent and forced the Swede’s corner to throw in the towel after five rounds.
