Promoter Anthony Joshua spoke about the British world champion’s fight with Francis Ngannou.
Eddie Hearn spoke about his ward Anthony Joshua’s upcoming fight against Francis Ngannou. The functionary paid tribute to ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, who previously lost to Tyson Fury due to controversial judges’ decisions.
According to the expert, the Cameroonian will be in great shape and even stronger for the fight with Joshua.
“He knocked Fury down and that gave him confidence. We don’t know if it was by accident. But we know that the confidence he gained in that fight will drive him in this fight.
We watched that fight and Ben Davison had ten rounds to plan the fight. Maybe Fury was the downed pilot, we’ll find out on February 17th. It is very difficult to imagine going into battle without knowing what your opponent is going to do.
You have to figure it out as the fight goes on. How big is Ngannou? People tell us he’s a terrible puncher, but does Fury still have the ability to punch? We have to find out,” the Mirror quoted Hearn as saying.
We remind you that Fury will fight Alexander Usik on February 17. Joshua and Ngannou will fight on March 8 in the Saudi capital of Riyadh.
It was previously reported that the undefeated Ukrainian boxer was preparing Ngannou for a fight with Joshua.
