RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — According to promoter Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua faces a high-stakes matchup against Francis Ngannous, who resembles Godzilla. On March 8, the former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua would have to swallow a bitter pill if he lost to a 0-1 Ngannou.
Though even if that were true, Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) a 34-year old British professional boxer, was never the fighter that boxing fans made him out to be and was always fragile, despite Hearn’s insistence that he is “back” to what he was during his finest years.
