Hearn: Joshua can beat Ngannou easily

Matchroom Boxing promotion boss Eddie Hearn predicts that former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua confidently cope with the mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou in the upcoming fight.

“I believe Anthony will easily defeat Francis. But I don’t think that this is not a dangerous opponent. Ngannou has power and he is very strong. But this is my opinion. I believe Joshua will be too good for Ngannou. It's not about disrespect.

Francis has the ability to knock down anyone. However, boxing is much more than that. Do you understand? There is something more to the skill and art of boxing. And I believe that Anthony will be too good for him,” Boxing Scene quotes the functionary.

Let us remind you that the fight between Joshua and Ngannou will take place on March 8 in Riyadh.
