The former Ukrainian world champion shared his expectations for the future confrontation with Saudi Arabia.
Anthony Joshua easily defeated Francis Ngannou in a fight in Saudi Arabia. This is what former world champion Alexander Gvozdyk said.
At the same time, the Ukrainian boxer named some key factors for future success. The main one is the mental state of the British.
“If we think logically, and if Joshua enters the ring with a strong mind, I don’t see a chance for Ngannou. Well, unless he gets hit.”
Look. How are they talking about Joshua now? They say that in the fight with Otto Wallin he regained his confidence. If Anthony fights with confidence, the way he boxed before his loss to Andy Ruiz, then I see no chance for Ngannou. There is no chance to get in at all.
Lately we have seen that Joshua is a little unstable. If he can get it together mentally and stay focused, I don’t think Ngannou can compete against the elite super heavyweights. I say this with all due respect to him.
But on the other hand, if Ngannou gets into the 1st round, this picture could change. After all, everyone knows that Ngannou can hit hard. The leader was Joshua. But there are many different “buts” in this battle. I will say this, I think Joshua is the favorite, but I wouldn’t put money on him. I wouldn’t bet the amount that it would be a pity to lose,” Gvozdyk was quoted by vRINGe.
We remind you that the Joshua-Ngannou fight will take place on March 8 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, the fees for Joshua and Ngannou for the fight were revealed.
