British Antoine Joshua will not notice resistance in a duel with a Frenchman of Cameroonian origin Francis Ngannou during a boxing match, former contender for the WBA light heavyweight belt Umar Salamov told .
Joshua and Ngannou will face each other on March 8 in Saudi Arabia.
— Regarding Ngannou: he just got lucky in the Fury fight, and now everyone is talking about him as a powerful new heavyweight, but that’s not true. Tyson was not ready for this fight and Joshua will not allow himself to repeat the same thing. “Joshua will come out in full fight preparation and beat Ngannou by one wicket,” Salamov told .
Joshua has 27 victories (24 by KO) and three defeats in the professional ring, including two against Alexander Usik. The Briton is Olympic champion in 2012, former world champion according to WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO. Ngannou made his boxing debut last October in a fight with British WBC champion Tyson Fury, but lost by split decision.
Salamov’s next fight will take place on February 24 in Moscow with his compatriot Igor Mikhalkin for the Eurasian Boxing Parliament (EBP) belt.
