Anthony Joshua, former heavyweight champion of the world, has spoken out about his upcoming fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
"A lot of people say Tyson Fury lost to Ngannou, so now I'm going to say Francis is a good fighter. It's a great challenge for the two of us. Let's go. I'm ready to go out there and fight. I want to beat him up," Matchroom Boxing quoted Joshua as saying.
The fight between Joshua and Ngannou will take place on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. For Francis, the upcoming fight will be his second fight in professional boxing. In his debut fight, he lost only by split decision to reigning world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
