Francis Ngannou faces Anthony Joshua this Friday evening in English boxing. It’s at 11 p.m. UTC at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fraternal atmosphere at press conference on Wednesday between the boxers
“I don’t think I shocked the world. I’ve been in the lab, preparing, training, learning and I think when I actually get it, that’s when the world will be shocked. I just work and build and learn about the sport. You know, it’s the sport that I’ve loved my whole life. I haven’t really had the opportunity to do it and gain experience “It’s now that I really enjoy working on this experience.” Launched, Francis Ngannou, former UFC heavyweight champion.
And Antony Joshua does not let himself be flattered at all by his opponent’s polite smile. The Briton saw many lightning uppercuts from Ngannou against a certain Tyson Fury in this same ring.
“I know who I am against you, know, I look at these little details, but I make up my mind and everything, I try to be professional. But tonight, it’s something else, it’s different. Everyone that text book stuff goes out the window and you have to be relentless, give your best. It’s already written in the stars what’s going to happen, I’m just going to follow my destiny.” Says, Anthony Joshua, former heavyweight champion of the world.
This Friday, Ngannou returns to Riyadh this time against Joshua, 34, and former WBO champion, and with three consecutive victories.
