Hearn Thinks Joshua - Ngannou is a Real Knockout Compared to Usyk - Fury!

Promoter Eddie Hearn, cornerman to the boxing colossus Anthony Joshua, reckons a clash with MMA behemoth Francis Ngannou would pack more punch than any title bout:

"That fight? It's dynamite. Is Usyk tangling with Fury? That's just the undercard.

See, EJ is squaring off against Ngannou? That's the main event. Everyone's hyped about Joshua going toe-to-toe with Fury, but with Fury locked into a dance with Oleksander, that bell won't ring just yet.

Still, I've got a ringside dream: Joshua laying the smackdown on Fury," Hearn jabbed on iFL TV.

Come October 29, Ngannou swapped the Octagon for the ring, only to face a split decision defeat against Tyson Fury. Post-match, Hearn was all buzz, teasing a Joshua-Ngannou showdown in the heart of Africa. As for Fury and Usyk? They're lacing up for a potential brawl in February 2024.
