MMA cage specialist, Francis Ngannou will challenge British world number 2 Anthony Joshua on the night of Friday to Saturday at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
After narrowly failing against WBC champion Tyson Fury in October despite a good performance, the Cameroonian decided to take up the gloves a second time in order to rise against a benchmark in the category.
Facing a novice in English boxing, Anthony Joshua is obviously the favorite.
The 34-year-old former world champion remains on a victory by knockout against the Swede Otto Wallin last December, and does not seem resigned to letting “The Predator” dominate him: “I think I can knock him out.
I would love to do it and make a mark,” he said on Sky Sports a few days ago.
After pushing Tyson Fury to the decision last October, Ngannou intends to take his revenge against Joshua, another British heavyweight boxing legend.
A way of gaining credibility for the Cameroonian fighter, who goes back and forth between MMA and boxing.
The fight will be followed on Friday March 8 around midnight during an evening which will begin at 4:20 p.m. on DAZN Combat, a DAZN group channel which requires a specific subscription.
