Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou face off for first time ahead of heavyweight fight
Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou meet for the first time ahead of a heavyweight fight.
Joshua and Ngannou, who will play in Saudi Arabia in March and finish the season in Riyadh, met for the first time at a press conference in London.
Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou first met in a heavyweight bout last March.
Joshua welcomes former UFC champion Ngannou back to the ring after an incredible debut against Tyson Fury last October. Ngannou dropped the heavyweight champion by just one point in a controversial decision as he looks for ‘AJ”s first boxing victory since a three-fight winning streak last year.
The pair appeared at a press conference in London on March 8 to promote their heavyweight bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And Joshua admitted he has given up hope of becoming a three-time heavyweight champion.
“This fight is everything to me, my soul, my mind, my soul, my body, because every fight leads somewhere,” he said. “We’ll see where it takes me, but I’m not thinking about that right now.
