The odds may once again be stacked against him, but Francis Ngannou not only expects to beat Anthony Joshua in his return to boxing, but he thinks he can finish him.
The former UFC heavyweight champion will return to the ring March 8 to box Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ngannou is coming off a highly competitive split decision loss to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury this past October. Ngannou knocked Fury down in the fight, and many observers thought he did enough to get the call in his pro boxing debut. Against Joshua, Ngannou expects to get his hand raised – and likely before the final bell.
