Anthony Joshua is following in fellow Brit Tyson Fury’s footsteps by taking on the former UFC champion Francis Ngannou on March 8 and the latest onlooker to predict what might happen is Tim Bradley.
Joshua will be hoping to deal with Ngannou rather more comprehensively than Fury. That fight back in October was the big-hitting MMA star’s boxing debut and was arguably one of the best ever as he kept Fury on his toes and working hard for the full 10 rounds.
Despite hitting the canvas in the third, Fury rallied to a close split decision points win. Ngannou now goes in with Joshua, who will be fighting for the fourth time in 12 months.
He has picked up rebuild wins over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin that have all got him back into good form and backed by many people to lift a world title for the third time at some point soon.
Speaking to ProBox TV, Bradley broke down the contest.
The reward for the winner of this fight could well be a battle with the newly crowned undisputed heavyweight king once Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have settled their differences on February 17, with Joshua picking Usyk for the win.
