THE last man to beat Anthony Joshua is open for a rematch. Azerbaijanโs Mahammadrasul Majidov engaged Joshua in a three-round war in the final of the 2011 World championships in Baku, a shoot out that Majidov won narrowly. Joshua of course went on to win the 2012 Olympic Games and is now a professional world champion.
But the two never boxed again, although Majidov would happily change that.
โI remember it was a good fight, not too many points [between them, one in fact], good, good,โ he told Boxing News. โNow if we have a fight? Heโs a very a good Olympic champion, very good boxer. Iโm two-time World champion. Whoever trains well would win. I think Iโd beat him now.โ
Majidov is currently competing at Rio 2016, boxing Kazakhstanโs Ivan Dychko on Saturday night in the preliminary stage. โTheyโre very good opponents, good boxers [at Rio 2016]. But Iโm the best!โ he laughed.
