Anthony Joshua squaring off against Francis Ngannou is expected to be a competitive fight, according to boxing star and MMA competitor Claressa Shields. She predicts that there will be a split decision since she believes it will be so close.
Ngannou is a former heavyweight boxing champion of the UFC who has only engaged in one professional fight. He will face Anthony Joshua, the two-time unified champion, on March 8.
In his most recent bout, Tyson Fury defeated Ngannou via a controversial split decision, and Shields thinks Joshua may face challenges in his matchup with the mixed martial artist.
