British boxer Derek Chisora has spoken about the upcoming fight between Anthony Joshua and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, which will take place on March 8 in Saudi Arabia.
TalkSPORT quotes Chisora as saying:
Remember, he’s only got 10 rounds with Tyson Fury and in one of the rounds he dropped Tyson Fury. This is AJ’s hardest fight of all his fights. On top of that, there’s so much pressure on AJ because he’s representing boxing, he’s representing all of us right now.
Joshua last fought Otto Wallin in December 2023 in Saudi Arabia. In that fight, Anthony won by TKO in the fifth round. He has 27 wins (24 by knockout) and three losses on his record.
Ngannou made his professional boxing debut in October 2023. He faced WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The fight went the distance, and Francis lost by split decision.
