Speaking to Boxing King Media Johnny Nelson gave his assessment on the clash.
He said: “I think AJ gets the job done easy. Everybody knows what to expect.”
“Now we know Ngannou can’t be hustled and pressed, you have to be on your A-game. You can’t go in there like Fury did and drop the ball because you’d be embarrassed.
“He knows Ngannou is tough, strong, and AJ has to be sharp, use his movement, be fit, if not he gets turned over.”
