In an electrifying interview with TalkSPORT, British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora (34-13, 23 KOs) shared his predictions for the bout between Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) and Francis Ngannou (0-1).
"This is going to be Anthony Joshua's toughest fight. It's the unknown. Ngannou has only had 10 rounds with Tyson Fury, with the rest in MMA. Moreover, there's huge pressure on AJ because he represents boxing, he represents all of us. Joshua is fighting for himself, his name, and his dignity. You're under tremendous pressure when you're fighting someone unknown, someone who's not a great fighter. Remember, he only had 10 rounds with Tyson Fury, and in one of those, he laid him out. It's going to be a tough fight for him, but I can guarantee you that Joshua will knock him out," Chisora said.
The showdown between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou is scheduled for March 8th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The 40-year-old Chisora last entered the ring in August of the previous year against Gerald Washington (20-6-1, 13 KOs) and won by a unanimous decision of the judges.
