Ngannou, the former UFC star is poised to tackle Joshua later in the year.
And after performing so well against Fury, he's confident of beating Joshua.
“I think most likely (I’m) knocking Anthony Joshua out," he said.
“I think that he’s easier to go down than Fury.
"I mean, not that he’s not a strong fighter. He’s a very tough fighter, but he’s easier to send down than Fury, and it’s harder for him to get back up than Fury.”

Very insightful! What sort of horseshit is that. Dear me, the sport has gone to the dogs.Quote:

If Joshua is staying active & this is a filler then I'm chill :cool:
Little Anthony "I'M THE NEW BREED OF ELITE HEAVY WEIGHTS" Joshua (LMFAO) is going to get sparked out before the eighth round.
That's how elite his ass is. And once he is brought down to that level where he actually belongs (meaning he has crashed down through several floors of Media hype) then the fight with Wilder will be made
If he gets sparkoed by Ngannou, why would there be an appetite for AJ v Wilder? how they gonna market it? Battle of the failures!Quote:

Are you telling me , that even the Saudis with all the money they have can price this fight at least as highly as before ?
If you that’s what you’re saying, with respect, you are in Cuckoo land.
If Wilder gets a win, he is back in the picture. He will wait around and the Saudi's have limitless budget.Quote:

Wilder got beat by Joseph Parker EASILY! why isn't Joseph Parker being talked about in these circles?
I'm sure the Saudis are well happy about you spending their money willy nilly. ;D
Parker should get a shot at Hrgovic if AJ has not taken on him. I think Hrgovic will protect his number one status and the silly Saudi's will pay him for another "gimmie".Quote:

So at Joshua’s point of his career, how does this push him forward apart from increasing his bank balance?
That’s not being disrespectful to Ngannou because I thought he did exceptionally well against Fury (and he won the fight) . But he is a novice.
Yes, Boxing is a business, but let us not forget, first and foremost, it is a Sport.
Really is a thick headed pull on the lotto machine for AJ. What’s lost is unlike Fury, in the moment, AJ is the one in the middle of salvaging his career and teetering on the final sunset. It really is a lose everything and gain nothing move. Again, he doesn’t have to “lose” to lose vs an 0-1. Get clipped take a stumble, take a cut or even be extended full distance and it will resonate heavily. Aside From all the Ngannou and Saudi facilitating another gawdy smoke n mirrors circus. This does not benefit boxing in the big picture.
Francis is ranked in the top 10 WBC after his fight with Tyson Fury.
