It’s a good fight for Hearn , but No I don’t think it’s a good fight for AJ. He will get criticised WHOEVER he fights unfortunately.
But I believe that any top 15 HW Boxer in the World (probably top 50) would beat Ngannou.
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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Means fuck all, we all know the WBC are a bunch of fucking clowns. If AJ KO’s Ngannou, he won’t ever be heard of again.
But he will have earned more in his Boxing career in 2 fights than anybody on the planet apart from maybe 7 or 8 guys in their whole careers.
Does anybody think that’s fair , right , sensible ? End of.

I’m not naive. I’m fully aware of the reality of things today. But they’re only reality because we allow them to be.
We don’t open our eyes and minds up to question this tripe.
Here’s a bit of perspective.
Fabio Wardley, Agit Kabayel, Jared Anderson.
3 fighters from different countries, backgrounds, traction behind them. All unbeaten with a combined record of 57-0.
All worked hard all their careers to get an opportunity , all on an upper momentum, all looking for big fights.
They would highly likely ALL beat Ngannou.
Ngannou , in these 2 fights , will have not only bigger purses than each of them has accumulated their whole careers, MAYBE EVEN IF YOU ADD THEM ALL TOGETHER!
Let that sink in and wonder how you would feel if you were in their shoes.
All because Ngannou has done “ok” in a different sport altogether.
This is not a personal dig at Ngannou. I like the guy, I respect the work he put in for the Fury fight and felt he did a great job. And if he has the opportunity to earn life changing money, good luck to him, same goes for Joshua.
This is more of a dig at the Boxing politics, the people like Hearn that promote this, the governing bodies for prostituting the sport and the “MUG” fans/general public for taking all this in and allowing themselves to be duped.

Can't help but wish Ngannou hadn't knocked down fury....
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
so eddie not part of team aj? as for aj, you don't think making easy money is good? you don't think staying active is good? you don't think getting one up on your rival is good? if aj is going to get criticised for whoever he fights then why not stay active & make good money while getting the opportunity to beat the guy who arguably defeated your rival, while waiting to see where the chips fall? do you believe aj is top fifteen? if so then it's a win for him. how this pushes aj forward is something he would need to answer, how each person motivates themselves is down to each individual. i agree francis is a novice but i want to see he goes against other heavyweights. it's been a very long time since boxing was just a sport
want an avatar bet?
tyson wishes that too
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
I'd like to see Wilder vs. Ngannou
Wilder is flawed enough to make that fun while it lasts![]()
Lil' aj better get in a few more good wins because after Tyson Fury smashes the rabbit twice in a row then they will be time for Lil aj to get smashed twice in a row the last time will be at Wembley
