Hrgovic Confident – Joshua to Quickly Defeat Ngannou

In an interview with the YouTube channel J Calderon Boxing Talk, IBF mandatory heavyweight contender (over 90,7 kg) Filip Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KOs) predicted the outcome of the fight between Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) and Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KOs).

–  What do you think about the Joshua vs. Ngannou fight?

–  I think now we'll see how good Ngannou is.

–  Do you believe he beat Fury?

–  No. But he fought very well. So we'll see.

–  How much has he improved his skills?

–  He has improved significantly because he surprised Fury, but now Joshua will be prepared for that. Anthony is a big puncher and always in good shape, so we'll see. I think Ngannou will give him a good fight.

–  What's your prediction for the match?

–  I predict that Joshua will knock him out in a few rounds because Francis won't be able to withstand Anthony's combinations. Fury isn't a combination puncher.

The bout between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou is set for March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
