“Ben and I hit it off because he didn’t try to change my fighting style,” Joshua said. “There was a stage in my career when I wanted to change my style, box more carefully, behind the left straight, move more, not be so aggressive, control the pace of the fight.”
“But Ben told me this: it doesn’t suit your body type! You’re fucking huge, explosive, you need to get in the ring and knock out!” - said the two-time world heavyweight champion.
The fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou is scheduled for March 8 in Riyadh. Its winner will likely fight for the Royal Division championships against the best of the Fury-Usyk pairing.
