Joyce unexpectedly assessed Joshua's chances in the fight with Ngannou

British heavyweight Joe Joyce stated that he does not see a favorite in the battle Anthony Joshua And Francis Ngannou.

“It's a good fight. Yes, this is not the fight we have been waiting for for a long time, but it is an interesting fight. They both hit hard. Ngannou has proven that he is a worthy boxer. In his first boxing fight, he fought against number one Fury and gave him a good fight. He knocked Tyson down, but did not win by decision.

I think this is a good opportunity for Ngannou to show himself again, to show what he's made of. So it's up to Joshua to put an end to Ngannou. I don't know if he will do this. I think this fight is 50-50, but certainly Joshua fights longer. We’ll see how it goes,” Joyce said in an interview with YouTube channel Boxing Social.

Let us remind you that Joshua and Ngannou will fight on March 8 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
