Nigeria vs Cameroon set for Saudi Arabia as Anthony Joshua faces off against Francis Ngannou in March.
As he is ready to surpass Fury and defeat the former UFC superstar, Anthony Joshua has made fun of Tyson Fury and downplayed the accomplishment of dropping his fellow countryman.
Joshua on Ngannou dropping Fury
Ngannou nearly pulled off the greatest upset in boxing history when he dropped Tyson Fury in his professional boxing debut, which was the most startling moment of 2023. However, Ngannou ultimately lost a split decision to "The Gypsy King."
Despite having a 0-1 record, Ngannou was able to secure a super fight against Anthony Joshua, a British heavyweight phenom, in less than two weeks, because of his impressive performance against Fury.
Before their fight, Joshua responded to the Cameroonian fighter's notion that he wouldn't be able to bounce back as effectively as Fury had after suffering a devastating knockdown.
During his sixteen-year career, Fury had been dropped four times by Deontay Wilder and once each by Neven Paikich, Steve Cunningham, and Ngannou.
