Trainer of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou Dewey Cooper is confident that in the upcoming fight with Anthony Joshua his ward will be able to prove himself better than in the October fight with Tyson Fury.
The Briton and Cameroonian will share the ring on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“I know what the boxing public will say: 'Ngannou took Fury by surprise, there was no opportunity to study him, Joshua will be ready for him.' The only thing they forget is that this was Francis' first professional boxing match. In his first fight, he went 10 rounds against the best heavyweight on the planet.
How much do you think he'll learn by his second 10-round fight? This is what you will see - an improved version of Ngannou on March 8 in Saudi Arabia,” talkSPORT quotes Cooper.
