Ahead of his clash with Joshua, Ngannou has highlighted the differences in their chins and heart and believes keeping ‘AJ’ down is an easier task than knocking out Fury.
Speaking to the MMA hour he said: “I think most likely [I’ll be] knocking Anthony Joshua out.”
“I think that he’s easier to go down than Fury. I mean, not that he’s not a strong fighter. He’s a very tough fighter, but he’s easier to send down than Fury, and it’s harder for him to get back up than Fury.”
