It’s Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua fight week, and things are heating up as the former UFC heavyweight champion prepares to try and shock the boxing world once again.
Ngannou is getting this opportunity on March 8th because of how well he did in his boxing debut against Tyson Fury back in October 2023. While “The Gypsy King” walked away with a win, it was a controversial split decision many thought he’d lost (watch the highlights here).
Given how “The Predator” had never boxed before, his competitive outing with Fury changed everyone’s perspective on his foray into the sport — including Tyson Fury’s. In a new interview with The Stomping Ground, Fury shared his thoughts on Ngannou vs. Joshua and how the world is looking at it very differently to Ngannou vs. Fury.
Turki Alalshikh has said the winner of Fury vs. Usyk will be fighting the winner of Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou. With tens of millions getting paid out, we actually believe we’ll see it in 2024.
