Former absolute world champion Kostya Tszyu gave his prediction for the upcoming boxing fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou.

"Ngannou will have only his second fight under the rules of professional boxing, and opposite him will be the Olympic boxing champion. It's two completely different levels. The only problem is that Joshua falls down after missing. Joshua is several levels above Ngannou in technique, but this is professional boxing, not amateur boxing. In professional boxing you have a chance anyway if you can punch and hold your punches. I would like to see justice done and Joshua win. Tyson Fury definitely underestimated Francis Ngannou last time. Joshua will come out with a different mindset. Fury in general has a problem that he is not always one hundred percent ready for fights. He goes up in weight a lot, then he comes down a lot. There's nothing good about that, even for a heavyweight. Joshua is not like that in that respect. I don't think the Ngannou vs. Joshua fight is going to go the whole distance. Anyone can fall down here, of course, because both hit hard. In terms of the canons of experience and practice, it would be fair for Joshua to win. For boxing it is better.

Recall, the fight between Joshua and Ngannou will be held on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
