Anthony Joshua suspended from boxing after knockout loss to Daniel Dubois
Dropped in the Ring Magazine heavyweight rankings, Anthony will not be able to fight for a while after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois.
After falling short against the South African, a lot of supporters expected Adesanya to give up and retire.
Though he now has other intentions, Adesanya is excited to run it back with Du Plessis in the future.
Adesanya and UFC Money
Additionally, Adesanya has stated that he earned a sizable sum of money from his very first match under the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) brand.
The Last Stylebender was able to negotiate a very large payment because his performances in Glory kickboxing had already solidified his status in the MMA industry.
Adesanya was destined for stardom from the moment he signed with the UFC, and he has exceeded expectations.
With a great deal of expectation surrounding him, the New Zealand-based fighter entered the world's top mixed martial arts promotion with impressive striking skills and personality.
With a dominant performance at UFC 221 on February 11, 2018, the Nigerian-born fighter established himself as a serious contender in the middleweight class with a technical knockout win against Rob Wilkinson.
Since then he has become a two-time UFC middleweight champion and one of the best to ever do it in the division.
