<h2>The former unified heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis, has criticized Nigerian-born British boxer Anthony Joshua for choosing to fight Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on March 8.</h2>
<p>Lennox Lewis, a British legend who gained fame for his achievements in boxing around twenty-five years ago, claimed that Anthony is losing credibility by choosing Ngannou as his opponent.</p>
<p>Lewis argued that Joshua is losing his reputation and that his opponents should be of a higher standard despite the British boxer recording three straight wins in 2023.</p>
<p>He also argued that even if Joshua beat the Cameroonian crossover boxer in March, that wouldn't give Joshua a shot at the world title.</p>
<p><em>“If AJ beats Ngannou, which he should, does that elevate him to a shot at undisputed? Beating Wallin and Ngannou?”</em> Lennox Lewis wrote on Twitter. <em>“There’s a much better case for the winner of Parker vs. Zhang and if AJ gets through Ngannou, and Usyk wins undisputed, is the appetite for Usyk vs. Joshua 3 out there?”</em></p>
<p>He continued, <em>“If Fury becomes undisputed, the man says he’s vacating all belts but the WBC and The Ring so Fury in effect becomes last undisputed [champion] until someone else can ‘Thanos’ them back together. I still want to see AJ fight Fury and Wilder ... those are big fights. But like I told Mike Tyson, if you keep fighting guys like Lou Savarese, you will NEVER be ready for me.”</em></p>
<p>Just like most boxing critics, the British boxing icon believes that Joshua picked Ngannou because the Cameroonian-American boxer is new in boxing.</p>
<p>Note that Ngannou has only engaged in professional boxing once. He almost defeated British heavyweight boxer <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2023/10/30/anthony-joshuas-promoter-insists-fury-robbed-francis-ngannou-boast-of-aj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyson Fury</a> but lost to the WBC champion on points after dropping the Englishman once.</p>
<p>After that fight, he felt confident enough for Joshua to join him in the ring. The two boxers are anticipated to win a substantial amount at the Riyadh event on March 8.</p>
<p>Ngannou is a martial arts expert who advanced through the MMA cage category and into the UFC heavyweight class.</p>
<p>He won the UFC title after defeating Stipe Miocic in 2021. After leaving the UFC where he suffered only three losses, he intends to build a new profile in heavyweight boxing.</p>
