Eric Niksik, trainer of the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou spoke about the upcoming fight of his ward with the former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
“Our guy always has that X factor – that’s his strength. I won’t say that Joshua is easier to knock out than Fury, but I will say that stylistically it will be easier for us to catch him. Joshua usually fights in a small area of the ring, works well with the jab, but I think we can force him to fight in a phone booth, instead of chasing around the entire ring, like Fury,” Niksik said.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou will take place on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
