Ngannou and Joshua Set to Clash in March
Francis Ngannou is gearing up for his second foray into the boxing ring, as he prepares to face two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in March. The fight comes after Ngannou floored Tyson Fury in October, only to lose in a controversial decision. However, Ngannou has received a vote of confidence from one of Joshua's former sparring partners.
Martin Bakole Fancies Ngannou's Chances
Martin Bakole, who sparred with Fury before his fight with Ngannou, believes that the Cameroonian fighter has a good chance against Joshua. Bakole stated that Ngannou took the fight with Fury seriously, hoping to make a name for himself in boxing. He believes that if Ngannou lands a punch on Joshua, he will be able to stop him.
Joshua Ready for a Serious Challenge
Bakole also noted that Joshua will not underestimate Ngannou, as he saw how seriously the fighter approached his match with Fury. Both Ngannou and Joshua are looking to make a name for themselves in the boxing world, and Bakole believes that Ngannou has what it takes to come out on top.
Ngannou Forced to Wait for Rematch
After his loss to Fury, Ngannou was left waiting for a rematch. However, when Deontay Wilder suffered a surprise defeat, Joshua turned his attention to Ngannou. A deal was quickly arranged, and the fight is now set to take place on March 8 in Riyadh.
It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated matchup between two heavyweight contenders.
