The Brit will be looking to put in a better performance than Tyson Fury did against the former UFC heavyweight champion and make a statement to his long-time rival.

Some more big names are set to feature with Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang reportedly on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou.
It’s claimed Wilder and Zhang could fight each other or appear in separate fights on the show.
Wilder is looking to bounce back after a lacklustre performance where he was comfortably defeated by Joseph Parker in December.
Zhang meanwhile is coming off of two stoppage wins over Joe Joyce, and last time out brutally knocking the ‘Juggernaut’ out.
Zhang just absolutely splattered Joe Joyce😬
