Will be interesting though for Francis vs Joshua. I think that will be an even 50/50 fight or maybe Francis will have a puncher's chance as Joshua doesn't have the chin and recuperation of a Tyson Fury.
I think he humiliated Fury in this fight and after this fight, the boxing world will take Ngannou seriously, imagine doing this to an undefeated World and Lineal champion in your first boxing fight, Ngannou on his word can take this shit.
Whether he goes back to boxing or MMA he will be respected and feared because he has just shown how good he is in boxing and how he paced himself, he just opened doors to some MMA to take boxing as an alternative and there's a lot of money and freedom on boxing than on MMA.
The outcome was really interesting. I believe Ngannou could've won that fight if he hadn't run out of gas in the later rounds. It's pretty clear he gassed out since he was literally mouth-breathing. But, that was a solid performance from him. He didn't wear himself out; he was searching for an opportunity to knock out Fury. Ngannou scored a knockdown in the first round, but you know, Fury's the kind of boxer who can get back up even after a knockdown, like he did against Wilder. Just like the outcome of that specific fight, he still came out on top in the end.
Ngannou definitely has potential in boxing. The fact that he lasted through a long battle shows that he's on par with Fury. I like it, and I think we all deserve a rematch, don't you think?
