Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya shared his expectations for the boxing bout between Francis Ngannou and Anthony Joshua, which takes place tomorrow, March 8, in the Saudi Arabian capital.
"Joshua can box, he's a master at it, but I know how Francis fights. Ngannou knows how to make a great fight. He showed in his last fight in the ring that he can beat, if not the best, then one of the best boxers of this generation or ever. It's not my place to pick a winner. But I have a strange feeling that you can't blink in this fight.
One thing people don't realize is that Ngannou is a very tough guy. Remember Tyson elbowed him in the fight. And he didn't even blink. Francis just has a strong spirit," Middle Easy quoted Adesanya as saying.
