Joyce: Ngannou could shock Joshua

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 29, 2024, 2:59 p.m.

British heavyweight veteran Joe Joyce assessed the mixed martial arts star's chances Francis Ngannou in the upcoming fight against the former heavyweight leader Anthony Joshua.

The fight will take place on March 8 in the main event of the boxing evening in Riyadh.

“Of course, Ngannou can shake Joshua. If he lands one of the powerful punches that hit Fury, then I don’t think Joshua will get up from that. Perhaps Anthony will act cunningly. I think it will be a great fight. In this battle, they both have power. I think this is a great fight.

Ngannou boxed Fury brilliantly. This is an amazing story. He reached all the heights in the UFC, and then called out perhaps the best boxer in Tyson Fury and put up a worthy resistance to him. It’s like he got a wild card,” Joyce was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
