Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou looks to be in the shape of his life as he prepares for his fight with Anthony Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that is slated to take place on the 8th of March.
The former MMA superstar turned heavyweight boxer is looking absolutely shredded, signalling his intent to really make an impact within the boxing world. This will be the Cameroonian’s second professional boxing fight after he controversially lost to Tyson Fury in a split decision back in October 2023. This was despite knocking down the WBC champion in round three, as well as coming across a lot better than his opponent on the night.
Ngannou is set to fight Joshua after AJ’s proposed fight with Deontay Wilder fell through following the American’s defeat to Joseph Parker on the ‘Day of Reckoning’ card just two days before Christmas. On the very same night, one fight later, Joshua himself beat Swede Otto Wallin via corner retirement.
