Eric Nicksick, coach of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, spoke about his expectations from his ward's fight against Anthony Joshua.
Recall, Joshua and Ngannou will fight on March 8 at the tournament in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
MMA Fighting quotes Nicksick as saying:
He's more of a plot fighter, kind of works well behind his jab, but I feel like we can find him there in the pocket rather than having to chase him down or try to hunt him down. So there's some differences there, but by that style of fight, if he's going to be there in the pocket, Francis will find you.
Ngannou, 37, made his professional debut in October 2023 against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. In that fight, Francis was defeated by a split decision of the judges.
Joshua, 34, last fought in December 2023, defeating Otto Wallin by technical knockout in the fifth round. He has 27 wins (24 by knockout) and three losses.
