Heavyweight Thomas Narmo lands a right hand during a fight

A heavyweight with fourteen wins and fourteen knockouts would normally be talking about world titles. Instead, one of the undefeated boxers is much more sincere about his explosive start.

Thomas Narmo has stopped every opponent he has faced to date, establishing a perfect record of fourteen wins and fourteen knockouts.

As previously reported by World Boxing News, “The Last Viking” got through these opponents in a total of just twenty-six rounds.

But despite the eye-catching numbers, Narmo admits the statistics don’t tell the whole story yet.

“I don’t really pay too much attention to it,” Narmo told World Boxing News. “I haven’t faced a real challenge yet. My last three opponents did decently, so I’m glad I managed to hold them off.

“I started boxing overdue in life, so unfortunately I didn’t gain much ring experience from my previous fights.”

Learning on the job

This level of honesty is unusual in boxing, where undefeated prospects are often promoted as future champions long before a stern opponent.

Narmo didn’t start boxing seriously until he was in his 20s, after previously competing in mixed martial arts, which left him with significantly less experience in the ring than many heavyweights climbing the professional ladder.

Still, its destructive beginning is demanding to ignore. Fourteen knockouts in fourteen wins is scarce at any level, even if most of those fights came against humble opposition in European rings.

For now, the power puncher says he’s simply focused on getting ready for the right opportunity.

“I’ve been trying to stay in shape and I hope someone will call me and ask,” he explained.

“If not, I’ll have to continue what I’ve been doing a little longer. My time will come, of which I’m quite sure.”

Puncher’s Chance

The heavyweight division remains the only weight class where a single punch can instantly change everything. Narmo believes that momentum means he can never be passed up if the right opportunity arises.

“There is always a chance of a punch. Anything can happen in the heavyweight division,” he said.

“I’m not a technical boxer with a lot of experience. I just try to stay fit and be ready to hurt people.”

He also understands that without the support of a enormous promotional company, reaching the elite level may not be effortless.

“It’s not effortless to get to the top without a great promoter behind you,” he added.

“If I can have a good career, win some minor titles and serve as a gatekeeper for an elite company, I don’t think it’s too bad for someone who started training in his 20s.”

For now, the undefeated heavyweight is simply waiting for another opportunity to present himself.

“I hope the fight will take place in overdue March or early April,” he said.

“There will be a lot of gigantic heavyweight fights in the next few weeks and you never know if something will happen to one of them. I’m ready to go if the opportunity arises.”

Whether the opportunity comes sooner or later, Narmo’s brutally sincere vision of his own career suggests that “The Last Viking” realizes that his toughest trials may yet lie ahead.

The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

Tony Bellew Reviews Anthony Joshua's Comeback Victory Over Kristian Prenga After Knockdown Drama

Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.

Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.

‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”

The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
