Parker's coach names Ngannou's strengths ahead of Joshua fight

Mentor of former WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker Andy Lee spoke out regarding the upcoming fight between the former division leader Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) and mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KO).

“People will be interested because Ngannou had such an amazing fight against Fury. This is a great situation for Joshua because all those unknowns that Tyson faced are now dispelled, the element of surprise in Ngannou is gone.

To his credit, Francis was much smarter and a much better boxer than anyone would have expected him to be. He is quite smart and also very patient, and it is clear that he is strong,” the specialist said in an interview with Boxing Social.

Let us remind you that the fight between the Briton and the Cameroonian will take place on March 8 as part of a large-scale boxing evening in Riyadh.
