Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou collide this Friday in Saudi Arabia.
Ngannou takes on the former unified heavyweight champion in what will be only his second professional outing in the sport.
In his first he memorably put Tyson Fury on the canvas before dropping a split-decision to ‘The Gypsy King’.
And Tyson Fury’s father John Fury has warned Joshua of the threat of the former UFC heavyweight champion but ultimately thinks the Brit will win.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said:
“If he boxes properly, keeps his head, sticks to a game plan, he will win on points.”
“If he mixes it with a big puncher, Ngannou’s a unit, he’s had Tyson on the floor, Tyson said he can really bang, probably the hardest he’s been in with including Deontay Wilder.
“He’s got to be careful, but AJ has got the skillset, he’s got the power of himself and who knows, he has this effect on fighters doesn’t he? They just melt in front of him… don’t rule [out] and AJ knockout either, but it’s gonna be AJ on points I think.
“Ngannou’s a strong man and he’s a man with belief in himself, he’s super fit, 19 stone, he’s got to be careful as well.”
Who are you backing to be victorious? Let us know in the comments.
I’m backing AJ…
The only reason Tyson Didn’t put class Ngannou that night was because Tyson didn’t sleep for three nights before the fight, I could tell he didn’t look himself on the night before just before the fight..
