Boxing's New Phenom: Tarver Captivated by Ngannou's Skills

Ex-light heavyweight champ Antonio Tarver can't hide his excitement over Francis Ngannou's boxing prowess, and he worries about Joshua.

"That Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk bout? That's a once-in-centuries showdown. But let's not sleep on the A.J. and Ngannou face-off. This matchup? It's got me on edge, especially with Ngannou's knockout power.

We all know A.J.'s shaky with taking hits, so this fight's got my nerves jangling. Picture this: A.J. risks it all and Ngannou's everything to gain. Stepping into a battle with those stakes? That's intense."

"So, do you think it's square if Ngannou nails a win and gets a shot at the overall title in just his third fight?"

"Exactly why Ngannou's lacing up those gloves, threw down with Tyson Fury, and is gunning for A.J. The guy's a once-in-a-lifetime athlete we've never seen before in boxing.

Imagine, he could be sitting at 1-1 or even 0-2 and still be the richest dude in the ring with that record. It makes me wonder, what was I doing in the ring for 23 years? Hats off to him, Ngannou's a rare breed," Tarver remarked.
