Ngannou did not surprise Zahozhiy in sparring

Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Alexander Zakhozhy spoke about boxing sparring with the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. The Ukrainian noted that Ngannou did not surprise him with anything.

“To say that he really surprised me, then no. I have been in sparring sessions with 5 Olympic champions and world champions, so it is very difficult for me to compare with them. It was interesting to me from the fact that he is a UFC champion, very powerful. I knew that he had a very good punch, and it was interesting for me to spar with him.”
