Derek believes that in a fight with ex-UFC champion AJ will defend the honor of all boxing
Famous British heavyweight Derek Chisora believes that his compatriot, ex-world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua It will be very difficult in a fight with the former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
“This is AJ’s toughest fight of all his fights. This is the unknown. [Нганну] Spent only ten rounds with Tyson Fury, the rest in MMA. It was just rough fighting, uppercuts and all that crazy stuff.”
“Also, there’s a lot of pressure on AJ because he represents boxing, he represents all of us right now. He fights for himself, for his name and his dignity.”
“When you fight someone you don’t know and isn’t a great fighter, there’s a lot of pressure. Remember, he only had ten rounds with Tyson Fury, and in one of the rounds he beat Tyson.”
Let us remind you that the Joshua-Ngannou fight will take place in Saudi Arabia on March 8. The undercard of the event, among others, includes Roman Fury, the younger brother of Tyson Fury, who is going to attend this event. In addition, before the Joshua-Ngannou fight there will be a fight between Zhang Zhilei and Joseph Parker. Also as part of the show, Ukrainian Andrei Novitsky will fight against American Juan Torres.
At the end of December, Joshua confidently defeated Otto Wallin, who refused to continue the fight after the 5th round, as part of the “Day of Reckoning”. Anthony stated that he was ready to fight the next fight with anyone.
Ngannou lost a decision to Tyson Fury in his only boxing fight. The Cameroonian made a good impression against the current champion title holder, knocking down the “Gypsy King” and inflicting several cuts on the Briton.
