Francis Ngannou believes he will knockout Anthony Joshua

Francis Ngannou is more than confident in his ability to finish Anthony Joshua if the opportunity arises.

Speaking to Sky Sports this week, 'The Predator' was asked about his chances when he steps into the ring with yet another boxing star. According to Ngannou, he is leaving no stone unturned in terms of his preparation.

Ngannou believes that whilst he knows he has the power to finish the fight, the real test will be whether or not he can find the right moment to let his hands go. He explained:

"Of course, I believe if I land on anybody, I'll knock him out. Now, the question is how to land. I think that's the hardest thing. Everybody in this division, almost everybody here, can knock everybody out, but how to land, how to carry that power, that energy from [the] first round to the fifth round to the tenth round and still be able to hit somebody hard, knock somebody out after all the fatigue and everything, is a chess game."
