Alexander Gvozdik , former WBC light heavyweight champion, gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou.
"If you reason logically, and if Joshua comes into the ring mentally strong, I don't see any chance for Ngannou. Well, unless he gets hit. Look. What's the word on Joshua right now? They're saying he got his confidence back in the fight with Otto Wallin. If Anthony boxes with confidence - the way he boxed before his loss to Andy Ruiz - then I don't see any chance for Ngannou at all. Not even a chance of getting in. But, lately, we've been seeing Joshua being kind of unstable. If he can get himself together mentally and stay focused, I don't think Ngannou can compete with the elite super featherweights. I say that with all due respect to him. But on the other hand, if Ngannou gets hit as early as the 1st round, that picture could change. I mean, everybody knows that Ngannou can punch very hard. Joshua is the favorite. But there are a lot of different "buts" in this fight. I'll put it this way, I think Joshua is the favorite, but I wouldn't put money on him. Would not put the amount that would be a pity to lose," - quotes the boxer vRINGe.
Recall, the fight Joshua - Ngannou will be held on March 8 in Riyadh.
