Speaking to OLBG he said: “I think it’s great what Ngannou has done, I didn’t give him a chance against Fury and I think the fight could have gone either way. I think it’s great he’s got this other massive fight coming up against Anthony Joshua and he’s getting paid loads of money.”
“He’s obviously an absolute specimen. He’s obviously a much better boxer than everyone thought. I think his chances are quite high, beating Joshua.
He concluded: “If you have asked me that question one year ago I would have said Joshua would have smoked Ngannou easily – in Joshua’s last fight he looked really really good, he was really letting his hands go which we haven’t seen in a while – but it’s a 50/50 fight who, knows what happens.”
