Ngannou Shuts Down Massive Joshua Fight, Reveals Next Opponent

Francis Ngannou has turned down a fight with Anthony Joshua and is now focusing on a different opponent. Despite dropping Tyson Fury in his boxing debut, Ngannou controversially lost on points in Saudi Arabia. Now, he's set his sights on a rematch with Fury.

Ngannou's Decision Leaves Boxing Fans Wanting More

In a surprising turn of events, Francis Ngannou has rejected a highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua scheduled for December. Instead, Ngannou is choosing to prioritize a rematch with Tyson Fury, putting their previous controversial clash behind them. This decision has left boxing fans eagerly awaiting the outcome of the rematch.

A Potential Showdown in Saudi Arabia

Although the Fury vs. Usyk title bout has been postponed from December 23 to February, Saudi boxing bosses are still planning a major event before Christmas. They have approached Ngannou to headline the event, but he has made it clear that he wants to focus on his rematch with Fury.

Ngannou's Words

In an interview with TMZ Sports, Ngannou expressed his willingness to wait for the rematch with Fury, saying, "That’s the most important thing for me right now, everything else for boxing comes after." He also took responsibility for the delay, admitting that he shouldn't have cut Fury.

Postponement Confirmed

Promoters for both Fury and Usyk have officially announced that the highly anticipated heavyweight unification fight has been postponed until February. This means that Ngannou's hopes of facing Joshua will have to wait until after his rematch with Fury.
