This is the most anticipated comeback of the year in the premier category. After his defeat against Tyson Fury, Francis Ngannou will quickly get back into the ring. And not against just anyone: the Cameroonian Predator will face the British Anthony Joshua, former WBA, IBF and WBO world champion! A fight at the top that promises to be epic.
An XXL clash between two former heavyweight kings
The announcement has just fallen: Francis Ngannou will challenge Anthony Joshua in a fight that promises sparks! Scheduled for March 9, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this duel between two of the greatest punchers in the category is already shaping up to be a monument, a real temblor on the pugilistic scene.
Because opposite Ngannou will stand no less than AJ, the one who reigned over the premier category between 2016 and 2019, monopolizing the WBA, WBO and IBF belts. A major challenge for The Predator, beaten for the first time in his career during his last outing against Tyson Fury in 2023.
A winning return for Ngannou?
At 37 years old, Francis Ngannou certainly no longer has the right to make mistakes if he intends to one day become heavyweight world champion again. Reason why this fight is of capital importance in his quest for redemption.
Especially since facing him, Anthony Joshua (33) will also be looking for redemption after his two consecutive losses against Oleksandr Usyk. Two boxers with their backs against the wall and eager to take their revenge: we can expect violent exchanges!
Especially with the phenomenal punching power of both fighters. With his 20 KOs in 27 victories, Francis Ngannou quite simply has the biggest KO power in all categories combined. For his part, Joshua has 22 KOs on the clock, which also makes him one of the most dangerous punchers in activity.
Suffice it to say that the public in Riyadh should be amazed. And that a knockout is more than possible as the slightest strike can prove fatal!
So, verdict without appeal or decision discussed on points? Response on March 9 for this epic fight! In the meantime, everyone behind our national Predator for this immense challenge. Come on Francis!!!
