“Everyone underestimated Francis in the fight with Fury, including Tyson himself. Ngannou trained constantly. He has certainly gained an audience and a fan base around the world and many, including myself, would say he won the Fury fight. I wouldn't underestimate this big guy in a fight with Joshua. This will be a huge event. We're looking forward to it and will obviously be on Francis' side. I believe he can beat Joshua. Francis will only get better in his second appearance in the boxing ring. He is a champion in MMA and the best heavyweight in the world,” said the functionary.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Ngannou and Joshua will take place on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
