PHOTO: Boxing world charged as Anthony Joshua takes on Francis N’Gannou
In less than one hour, two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will be facing Cameroon-born predator, Francis Ngannou in a bout that holds a lot to the career of both boxers.
Joshua who is on a three-fight winning streak following his back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine, has expressed readiness to get the job done.
For Joshua, it is a career defining moment as a loss to the Mixed Martial Arts champion will further dent his career.
Last time out, the 34-year-old demolished Otto Wallin over five rounds on the same December 2023 Riyadh card where Deontay Wilder faced Joseph Parker.
The plan was for Joshua to face long-time Wilder rival on this March 8 date before Parker ripped up the script by claiming a wide points decision.
