Anthony Joshua has sparked a social media frenzy when a video of him practicing kicks at the gym surfaced. This comes only days after his spectacular knockout victory over former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a boxing battle held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Joshua dominated the fight, scoring a sensational knockout in the second round with a right shot that landed squarely on Ngannou&#8217;s face. The MMA fighter was left unconscious on the canvas and needed medical care from ringside officials.

Joshua&#8217;s knockout victory over Ngannou displayed his incredible hitting power. However, his recent kicking video has elicited conflicting reactions from fans.

Some fans, impressed by Joshua&#8217;s win over a renowned MMA fighter, jokingly encouraged him to take on Ngannou in an MMA rematch:
<blockquote>&#8220;Rematch with Ngannou but MMA this time.&#8221;
&#8220;Might as well go beat Francis in MMA too&#8221;
&#8220;Might as well go to MMA and KO Ngannou&#8221;</blockquote>
Highlighting the apparent lack of power, another fan wrote:
<blockquote>&#8220;Them kicks are about as lethal as tissue roll.&#8221;</blockquote>

Anthony Joshua plans to return to the ring in September, potentially at Wembley Stadium. While his opponent&#8217;s identity is unknown, Joshua hopes to challenge Tyson Fury for the undisputed heavyweight belt in the future.
Joshua has a four-fight winning streak, including a dominating knockout victory over Francis Ngannou last month. This revival follows consecutive losses to Usyk in 2021 and 2022.

Joshua will have to wait his turn because Fury and Usyk have a potential rematch clause following their forthcoming fight on May 18. However, he remains determined to return to the top.
During a recent Jonathan Ross show, &#8216;AJ&#8217; said:

&#8220;My next opponent will be around September, is when I&#8217;ve been told. I was hoping for June. I&#8217;ve got some time to go on dates now and mingle a little bit. I&#8217;m training at the minute, I&#8217;ve got two months before I get into training camp.&#8221;[H/t: Marca]
