Ngannou makes a bold prediction for his fight with Joshua

Former UFC heavyweight belt holder Francis Ngannou explained why he expects to win an early victory over the former unified world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua.

“No one still knows what I’m capable of. This was my first boxing fight. Like everyone else, I'm just improving, and the room for improvement for a newbie like me is huge. I'm just a beginner, I'm improving.

I think that most likely I will knock out Anthony Joshua. I think he's easier to take down than Fury. I'm not saying he's a weak fighter. “He’s very strong, but he’s easier to knock down than Tyson and harder to get up than Fury,” Boxing Scene quotes Ngannou as saying.

Let us remind you that the Briton and the Cameroonian will meet on March 8 in the main event of a large-scale boxing evening in Riyadh.
