The famous British super heavyweight summed up the result of the fight in Saudi Arabia.
It’s too soon for Ngannou to step into the ring against the best heavyweights on the planet. This is what the famous British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte said.
In his opinion, the Cameroonian looked pitiful in the fight with Joshua and suffered a heavy defeat because he did not know the basics of boxing.
In addition, the fight with Tyson Fury gave the Cameroonian “false confidence” in his own abilities.
“Francis is not experienced enough to beat the top guys. He calmed down a bit because he did well against Fury, but Tyson didn’t take him seriously. Fury thought he was going to outbox Ngannou, but Francis gave the problem with Gypsy King. That was Tyson’s mistake.”
I think that fight gave Francis a false sense of confidence, and when he was hit with big shots, he stayed standing and didn’t try to move his head or hold on or anything. He fell and stood in the same place. He did not move his head, fell again, stood in the same place and, in fact, waited for the third blow from the right. I knew it was coming and I picked AJ to win anyway.
AJ is a puncher. You can’t stand in front of someone like that with your hands down and then change your stance within a fight with a right hand puncher. Why did Ngannou switch to a southpaw stance? It doesn’t make sense.
I thought Ngannou was better, to be honest, but Francis… he does boxing, but it’s not a recognized boxing training, so he didn’t learn the basics. A guy like AJ, a seasoned gold medal winner, all world title fights, is learning the ropes every day. It was at this point that Francis failed,” White was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
First of all, the former world champion said that Ngannou will no longer compete in boxing.
