Two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is gearing up for a showdown with UFC sensation Francis Ngannou, and in their recent face-off, Joshua wasted no time addressing comments suggesting that he’s vulnerable to knockouts, particularly after his 2019 loss to Andy Ruiz. Despite subsequent losses to Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua has not been knocked out, bouncing back with victories over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius, and an impressive performance against Otto Wallin in December.

Critics have questioned Joshua’s chin and knockout power, but he maintains that his strength is underestimated. During the face-off on DAZN Boxing, Ngannou hinted that concerns about Joshua’s chin might be the reason fans doubt him.

The much-anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou is set for Friday, March 8th, airing on both DAZN PPV and Sky Sports Box Office. The event will also showcase an exciting heavyweight bout as Zhilei Zhang defends his WBO interim title against Joseph Parker.
