“One of the reasons why we accepted the fight against Ngannou is that His Majesty said that the winner of the Joshua-Ngannou fight will fight the winner of the Usyk-Fury fight. Therefore, we can get a direct path to the title of absolute world champion. If Fury beats Usik and Joshua beats Ngannou, the public will automatically get the coolest fight in boxing history,” the functionary said.
Let us remind you that Usik’s fight with Fury will take place on February 17 in Saudi Arabia, and Joshua and Ngannou will box on March 8.
