Dudchenko: “Ngannou can knock out Joshua”

Former Ukrainian boxer, and now a coach Anatoly Dudchenko shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and MMA star Francis Ngannou.

— I think Francis can knock out Joshua. Anthony, of course, will outbox him. But I wouldn’t rule out Joshua losing by knockout.

— Perhaps then Ngannou should have boxed more aggressively?

— He will fight somewhere in the 7-8 rounds. And then he will climb forward. He might try to run him over. Joshua can "turn on the brawl." He loves doing it. That's why he lost to Andy Ruiz.

—Who will you bet on?

— Most likely, Joshua will win. He can box very smartly. And he's in good shape. Most likely, he will win by decision. Although it can also knock you out. After all, if you compare it with Fury, then his blow is tougher.

Let us remind you that the Briton and the Cameroonian will share the ring on March 8 in Riyadh.
