This makes a lot of business and financial sense for Joshua to fight Ngannou,but have no doubts Ngannou is not an easy fight for Joshua or anybody else for that matter. If Joshua can stop Ngannou that is without a doubt a BIG statement. Ngannou may not have the boxing experience of Wallin but he brings more trouble . Joshua is over rated as a finisher but will break you down as we seen recently with Helenius and Wallin.Ngannou should be on Joshua from the first bell and not let him get into a rhythm, if Ngannou’s chin is as good as they say then this is the way for him to fight Joshua .
I am excited for this one. Nobody knows how good Ngannou actually is. Besides, Ngannou might actually have further improved.
Wlad was old and shot and was never a one punch type. He was an accumulation puncher mostly. Ngannou is not. Bum rush is his best chance.
I have a feeling they will con us and have a sparring session. If it's legit, AJ knocks Ngannou's head off.
Makes perfect sense financially. Also factor in if AJ wins this fight more convincingly than Fury did, then it throws more bucks AJ's way in any potential cash out fight against Fury
Easy money smart move waiting for title fight no one cares about vacant burger King ibf title that hrgobitch wants
Keep seeing people saying AJ will KO Francis. I find Francis's chin more impressive than even his power. Due to the variety of weapons thrown at them, it's harder to avoid a KO in MMA, and Francis's chin has never been cracked. I can picture AJ winning a decision for sure, but I'll be surprised (and impressed) if AJ knocks him out cold.
Agree with this. Someone needs to do what Fury should have & give the MMA bloke a reality check. AJ should blast him out & get ready for a shot at the Undisputed H/W championship. Hrgovic is a fight he doesn't need.
Everyone keeps saying Hrgovic is going to get that title shot next. But nothing is sure in Boxing. Definitely not with the IBF. Money talks.
Should have been Hrgovic but hopefully Joshua honorably defends the honor of boxing. No hate on Ngannou, though. Can't blame him for doing well.
This is a **** fight. Another side show though this time expect the boxer to get the job done as Joshua will train for it in a serious manner. A Joshua ko would not surprise. Hearn wouldn’t let this happen unless it’s a gimme for his golden boy.
