Anthony Joshua

Francis Ngannou, known for his success in MMA, is set to face off against Anthony Joshua in a highly anticipated boxing match on March 8. Despite Ngannou's lack of professional boxing wins, his performance in the ring has caught the attention of Joshua's training team.

In his professional debut, Ngannou surprised many by dropping elite heavyweight Tyson Fury and putting up a strong fight in a 10-round non-title bout, ultimately losing on a split decision. This display of skill and physicality has shown that Ngannou's abilities from the UFC heavyweight championship can translate into the boxing ring.
