Chisora: "There's a lot of pressure on Joshua before the Ngannou fight"

British super featherweight veteran Dereck Chisora has spoken out regarding the upcoming fight between former unified division champion Anthony Joshua and mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou.

"I think there's a lot of pressure on Joshua right now. He's representing all of us at the moment, especially coming out to fight a guy who represents a different sport. Plus remember Francis was able to knockdown Fury. So this is going to be the toughest fight for Anthony right now.

Ngannou has a pretty high boxing IQ, plus he's good on counterpunching. Francis has been boxing for a year and a half. When you're a professional boxer, you get into bad habits. When you just start boxing and learning the technical aspects, you don't have bad habits. I think it will be a tough fight for Anthony, but whether he will knock him out is hard to say," - quotes Chisora talkSPORT.

Recall, the fight Joshua - Ngannou will take place on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
