Francis by KO thats for sure. Francis eating the punch of Fury like its nothing will only make AJs punch less effective.

Good for Francis not waiting for Fury rematch. He didnt fumble the bag this time but Fury for not taking the immediate rematch. Dana goes to the ER again while overdriving AJ shill.

I think Joshua will win. The performance of Ngannou vs Fury was good but Fury was not at his best and now we will see if Ngannou really stands a chance or not. I think a rematch against Fury would bring more money to the table, but also against Joshua it will generate a lot interest and will be a big payday for both men.

With what happened with the Fury vs Ngannou fight, I'm going to bet that this fight is going to be on Anthony Joshua's favor but if Ngannou knocks out Anthony Joshua and makes sure that he's securing a lot more knockdowns than usual then this will probably be a win for Ngannou although I still have a doubt that this is going to be a clean fight in terms of decision so that's why I believe that it's Ngannou's only chance which I do believe he has a higher chance this time because Fury is much tougher than Joshua so Ngannou's power punches is definitely going to shake Joshua even more than Fury. I'll bet on Ngannou just in case the corruption of the boxing federation doesn't touch or affect this match as much as the Fury vs. Ngannou fight.

And perhaps Wilder is kicking himself, as he is supposedly the fighter that is going to face Joshua and supposedly there is a big money in the table for them. So we might not see that fight as it seems that Wilder lost everything already and could be out of his prime already. On the other hand, Ngannou's performance against Fury can't be denied that he is for real as others totally write him off that he won't last a distance against the best heavyweight of our generation and yet he knock him down and almost pull a upset. So now he will be taking over Wilder's place to face Joshua. I might put some bet here with Francis winning specially that he will be a underdog here. So I voted for Francis Ngannou by KO.

Are we living in another reality heehhe. Also, does Francis Ngannou have any plans on fightning in MMA again? It appears that he will retire after 1 or 2 more fights in the boxing ring.

I don't think that Ngannou will come back to UFC, he had beef with Dana White and not sure if other organizations is willing to get him because if there is, he wouldn't box against Fury. And he get his biggest paycheck in boxing, so doesn't make sense for him if he can fight like 2-3 more and then fill his bank with millions.

In any case, on the fight itself, what is the height and reach difference between Joshua and Ngannou? If Ngannou has the advantage on both height and reach, I reckon Joshua might have much difficulty in closing the distance to start his offense.

Everyone already knows Ngannou's knockout punch that almost made Fury lie down on a stretcher hehehe.

Haven't check the stats, but if Ngannou was able to put Fury in the canvass, just imagine if that power touches AJ fragile chin, he might not get back from the canvass and Ngannou winning by knockout. So still, this is going to be a interesting fight and fans are going to love this.

This is a make-or-break for both fighters whoever wins this fight will have a chance to fight the Usyk-Fury fight and eventually win all the titles in the heavyweight division, its Joshua's chance for redemption, and its Ngannou's chance for greatness as no MMA fighter has gone to challenge for a title much more a heavyweight title, this is going to be an interesting fight and worth watching, the Saudi's are doing great bringing all these great fights, after there's a lot fo great fights coming from the Saudi promotions.

This is a big surprise and a big turn of events just a week before the Saudi big events all talks were all Wilder and Joshua and after Wilder lost to Parker this happen, Joshua faced a big obstacle on his journey back to regaining the titles he loses, Ngannou is a dangerous fight, and he can get knock out here if he goes to the ring without a good plan, we have seen how Ngannou almost beat Fury.
He should be very prepared here, I bet on Ngannou here I don't think he can take Ngannou's punch, and besides Joshua does not have a good lateral movement he is an easy target, if Ngannou wins this fight there's a possibility he can get a crack on the title and it's his third fight only.

I'd say it's a wise choice for Joshua. This would probably make him more money than a match against Wilder. And at this point in his career, it's probably money that matters most.

Wilder was just convincingly defeated. He didn't even win a round in one of the official scorecards. But he remains powerful. He could still defeat Joshua. There's the high risk. Ngannou, on the other hand, is also gifted with power, also fresh from a defeat. But he somehow became a star among boxing fans. He got everybody's respect by sending the Gypsy King down to the canvas. Joshua could be defeated by Ngannou but it's a better risk than be defeated by Wilder.

I don’t think either of them have a chance against Francis after seeing him fight Tyson and lay him on the canvas. We all know he won that fight… This will be another interesting matchup but I think Francis has this. That guy is just a beast. Anthony Joshua better be getting a huge payday because if he loses this will definitely hurt his career.

I haven't been too interested in boxing but my elders at home always watch this fights. I guess I have held alot about this too great fighters and I am looking forward to watching this match let's see who wins though this two Africans would be my favorites if I had been into boxing.

I don't like the fact that this two guys have to meet to prove a point. Each of them is going to aim at proving a point that he is worth his position and Francis is going to be proving a point that he wasn't just lucky on his performance against fury in there previous fight, while Joshua will be fight to maintain his reputation. Well it's just the game let's sit back and watch .

It has been confirmed that Anthony Joshua will be fighting Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on March 9th. Deontay Wilder was supposed to be the original opponent but that plan fell apart after Wilder’s upset loss to Joseph Parker.

Anthony Joshua is coming off his best win since losing his titles to Andy Ruiz. Francis Ngannou’s previous fight was his pro debut against Tyson Fury in which he scored a knockdown against the lineal heavyweight champion.

I doubt Joshua will take this fight lightly so we will see if Ngannou is a real contender or if his performance against Fury was just a fluke.
