Following the return to the rings of the main British exponents in Asian and Middle Eastern territory, former world champion Juan Manuel Márquez shared his technical perspective regarding the physical resistance exhibited by Anthony Joshua and how this factor will affect his projected fight against Tyson Fury.

Although the Watford fighter managed to overcome two knockdowns in the initial round to end up winning quickly in the second episode against the Albanian Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, the opening sequences set off alarms among sports analysts.

For the Aztec boxer, the former Olympic monarch's ability to assimilate impacts represents a structural fragility that will condition his tactical performance in the most demanding matches of the season.

During a conversation held with journalist Eduardo Camarena in the digital space Desde el Ring, the former Mexican monarch evaluated the complications that the Briton faced in the first three minutes of combat.

According to Juan Manuel Márquez's perspective, the lack of initial concentration exposed defensive gaps that a fighter with greater offensive volume will know how to capitalize on in the ring.

“I think that with what he showed us, that fragility that he has in terms of his jaw, his jaw, is worrying,” declared Juan Manuel Márquez on the Desde el Ring program when addressing the athlete's performance in Saudi Arabia.

"But he seemed surprised in the first episode. When they surprise you it is because you are cold, they touch you cold and they can send you to the canvas, imagine if they catch you cold and then Prenga, a fighter who has won all his fights by knockout, was practically giving the surprise, but Anthony Joshua knew how to arrange things, in his corner they sent him to manage the distance," the sports analyst detailed in the aforementioned audiovisual space.

The ability of the coaching staff to correct the work plan in the second episode allowed the Briton to take control of the space through the constant use of the left jab. However, the vulnerability shown to Prenga's straight attacks serves as a precedent to evaluate what will happen when he has to adjust the distance in front of Fury's corner.
