Francis Ngannou aims to knock out Anthony Joshua
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will return to the boxing ring against former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In a recent interview with Sky Sports Boxing, Ngannou discussed his chances against the two-time unified heavyweight boxing champion. Predicting a knockout, 'The Predator' said:
"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."
