    Fury's punch resistance is diminishing.

    Joshua OTOH hasn't faced fire like that for a long time.

    Think you have to have some semblance of a chin to get up from a Wladimir Klitschko right hand, one of the biggest punches in boxing history.

    I hope Fury & Usyk have dictated that they fight no later than midnight Saudi time

    3am is a joke

    Francis also REALLY cares about fighter pay and rights. It's not about the money with him.

    Actually, he might be full of ****, now that I think about it.

    The ring walk was about 20cm longer on Francis side and the locker room was also more dusty which inhibited Francis breathing. Not to mention the ring walk music which was played at a slightly higher decibel level which decimated his concentration.

    So are you saying Wladimir Klitschko couldn't punch, fool?

    Ngannou cannot come to terms with the defeat and believes that behind-the-scenes games took place.

    "They brought me to the arena very early, at about 10:30 p.m., and then when we arrived at the arena, they told me that I should fight around 1:45 a.m., and then around 1 a.m. they came to the locker room and said that Joshua hasn't even arrived yet."

    “I thought to myself, 'Well, we're fighting at the same time,' but for some reason I was there for the fight at least two hours before him. Even during the week we had to go to different places and wait. Dewey Cooper (Francis' trainer, op.a.) said: 'they do tricks like this to tire you out.'"

    Afterwards, he was asked by Ariel Helwani if he was nervous before this fight with Joshua, considering the winner would potentially attack the world title, to which Ngannou replied that there was more pressure in his first boxing match with Tyson Fury.

    "No, I didn't, in fact I never even looked for a chance for the title, but it's good that it was there, but I didn't chase after it. I was more nervous for the fight with Tyson, it was my first fight after two years. It was my first boxing match. I had a much better training camp this time.”

    The "Predator" revealed to us last week that he is not done with the "sweet science" and believes that boxing owes him a debt. His return to boxing is inevitable, but the question is when he will return to MMA, if at all.

    Welcome to boxing. The most ruthless, destructive, corrupt sport in the world, and that's before you even enter the ring.

    I love Ngannou but come on, stop with the excuses. This is sounding like Wilder.

    You lost it fair and square though, Francis. That over reliance on right hand parry, non-existent defense, and an MMA level distance management won't cut it. Dedicated tacticians like Davison and Wyllie will program Joshua for such holes straight away.

    Not sure what’s worse blaming the fact he waited two more hours or Wilder blaming the heavy suit both are ridiculous AJ would have knocked Ngannau out with his left hand tied behind his back
