this is five live boxing anthony joshua won in jeddah tyson fury won in pattaya thailand so in theory they will fight each other but nothing in boxing is that simple here's the story of a truly mad cat weekend in the heavyweight world of boxing i'm steve bunce and this is five live boxing It was the type of fight at night that isn't easy to actually break down. And I'm not joking. I've been ringside thousands of times. And I don't know if I've ever been as shocked as I felt at the end of that fight. Not because of the way Joshua finished it, but because of what happened in the first round. Let's leave it there and let's pull in the only man I can talk to at 4am in the morning because he's the only man that's awake.
Now, that's not the only reason you're on the pod, Barry Jones. You're on the pod because you've been back here waiting for me for two hours. I had some stuff to do. I went up and jumped in the ring and spoke to Joshua. We're going to hear from Joshua a bit later on. I often say to you, where do you want to start? Well, I'm going to say it again. Barry, where do you start to break down what we saw tonight inside the Jeddah Superdome? Let me just tell people what happened. Anthony Joshua came to the ring. It was rapturous. It was brilliant. He was fighting Christian Prenger. We all knew he'd take care of Christian Prenger. Ding, ding, round one. Suddenly AJ's on the floor. Then he's on the floor again. He survives the first round.
Second round, Prenger becomes passive, then gets knocked clean out after about two minutes and 40 seconds. So inside six minutes, it's all over. I'm not really sure what we watched.
No, it's, again, boxing will never cease to blow my mind. And a routine comeback fight.
A perfect comeback fight.
Yeah, and I mean, all the issues that Anthony had going into the fight, or before the fight, losing his friends, and we've been through that on previous stuff. But just break the fight down for technical ability, experience, and the rest of it.
Yeah.
even this version of Anthony Joshua, which is not the most robust. That's the truth. That's fine. He's still a good fighter. It still looked like an easy night's work for him. It did, because even watching Prenger, undefeated or whatever, he looked solid, and he did.
He looked perfect is what he looked, Barry.
But he never looked the fastest. You could be able to see the punches come in and not ever box at any sort of level. So boxing on a big occasion might freeze, might not, but the chances are you're going to be more tentative because you're not used to the occasion. This start with the shot that put him down, which was a right uppercut.
Short little right uppercut inside.
He took a right hand, a clubbing right hand over the top just before that. But neither shot looked massively heavy. Now, I know they're big guys, so they don't have to be like real crazy throwing punches.
What happened in Anthony Joshua’s Jeddah comeback fight and how did it unfold?
Nearly 19 stone Pranger was.
But that uppercut, he didn't see it, but it barely touched him.
And he goes down heavy, Barry. Oh, he's hurt. And he's 18 seconds into the fight, and he's on the floor, hurt.
Oh, well, all through our commentary in that first round, because his left leg was playing up. And between the... There was like four of us talking, and... Oh, I think he's hurt his leg. And it wasn't. He just didn't have his legs beneath him. That's all that was.
That's why he stumbles and staggers and falls into the ropes five or six times.
