British super featherweight veteran Dereck Chisora has spoken out regarding the upcoming fight between former unified division champion Anthony Joshua and mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou.

"I think there's a lot of pressure on Joshua right now. He's representing all of us at the moment, especially coming out to fight a guy who represents a different sport. Plus remember Francis was able to knockdown Fury. So this is going to be the toughest fight for Anthony right now.

Ngannou has a pretty high boxing IQ, plus he's good on counterpunching. Francis has been boxing for a year and a half. When you're a professional boxer, you get into bad habits. When you just start boxing and learning the technical aspects, you don't have bad habits. I think it will be a tough fight for Anthony, but whether he will knock him out is hard to say," - quotes Chisora talkSPORT.

Recall, the fight Joshua - Ngannou will take place on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
