Despite still being a novice in the sport, Francis Ngannou has been in the ring with two of the best heavyweights in the division.

French-Cameroonian Ngannou has had just two professional boxing matches. His debut came against Tyson Fury in October of 2023 when he put up a much better performance than many thought he would.

The former UFC heavyweight champion managed to stay at range and box well across the 10 rounds, and famously put Fury down with a big shot in the third. Though he never really got going into his usual rhythm, Fury rallied and did enough to win a split decision on the cards.

In March of this year. it was Anthony Joshua‘s turn to take on the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, who has registered the hardest puncher ever recorded. The fight lasted just two rounds with two knockdowns from Joshua before a devastating right ended it in dramatic fashion.

Since then, Fury has gone on to lose his first-ever fight against Oleksandr Usyk, while Joshua is currently in camp for his IBF world title shot at Daniel Dubois.

Having faced both men, Ngannou was asked by iFL TV who would win should we get the all-British showdown that fans have wanted for so long, and he went with the power of Joshua.

“I would give it to ‘AJ’ right now.”

Ngannou has since made good on his promise to return to MMA and will face Renan Ferreira on his return to the Octagon on October 19.

Joshua has a chance to win the IBF World Title from Dubois on September 21 and Fury rematches Usyk three months later for the three remaining belts. Should both win, the long-awaited fight may finally happen in 2025.

David Price Predicts Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: “I Always Thought It Would Be A Whitewash”…

By
TYSON FURY VS ANTHONY JOSHUA

For many years now, there has been one heavyweight fight that the world has wanted to see.

That is the all-British showdown between former Olympic champion Anthony Joshua and the former Lineal champion Tyson Fury.

Their paths have never yet crossed in the ring for a range of reasons. Right now, Joshua is the man in form with a run of four back-to-back wins in the last 18 months, while Fury is coming off his first-ever loss.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk

Back in May, ‘The Gypsy King’ was dethroned and failed to become undisputed champion when he took on Oleksandr Usyk.

Speaking to Seconds Out, former heavyweight contender David Price was asked whether he thought the two will ever manage to get it on in the future and said it all depends on the outcome of Fury’s rematch with Usyk in December.

“I’d obviously love that to happen.

It’s just going to depend on the circumstances of Tyson Fury at the end of the day. Will he want to continue if he loses to Usyk and go back to the table with Joshua on an even keel or even as the B-side fighter at that point.

But money talks doesn’t. They can have as much money in the bank but it’s still tempting to come back for that little bit more. It might just be a personal thing that he wants to fight Joshua. I know Joshua wants the fight. It’s just a shame it hasn’t happened yet.”

He then picked a winner and narrowly sided with ‘The Gypsy King.’

“If it does happen I was always convinced it would be a whitewash for Fury but Joshua has found his aura again, his form again, that belief, and I’d probably have it 60-40 in Fury’s favour.”

Should this mouthwatering clash ever come to pass, Fury will need to get through Usyk and Joshua will need to see off Daniel Dubois when they fight for the IBF title in September.

If both of them get wins, they could potentially come together for what would be an epic undisputed fight for all of the belts in 2025.

Joshua’s camp accuses Dubois of avoiding drug tests

By
Anthony Joshua and  Daniel Dubois

Anthony Joshua‘s team is furious with Daniel Dubois, alleging that Dubois has failed to sign up for additional drug testing ahead of their upcoming fight.

The former sparring partners are set to clash for the IBF heavyweight title in September at Wembley Stadium. However, Joshua’s camp has claimed that Dubois has not yet enrolled for testing with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).

On Tuesday, Joshua’s team tweeted: “Evening @Queensberry… any update on why @DynamiteDubois isn’t signed up for @Vada_Testing yet??”

In response, Queensberry Promotions replied: “Daniel is enrolled as VADA will confirm.”

This controversy follows a heated exchange between Joshua and Dubois during a joint interview ahead of their September 21 title fight. Tensions flared when Dubois asserted that he was ready to “go now” if Joshua “wants to swing.”

Joshua retorted, “Shut up, relax. I’ll throw this f***ing chair across your face. Don’t disrespect me.”
Dubois tried to stay composed, responding, “You can’t intimidate me, who do you think you are?”

This exchange escalated to the point where Joshua got out of his seat, and the two fighters had to be separated by security as promoters Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn watched.

Joshua continued, “Daniel, don’t disrespect me or I’ll put this chair through your face. Warn this little boy not to disrespect me. I don’t take disrespect lightly, you know. Don’t sit on the table telling me we can go now, telling me this and that.”

Promoter Frank Warren commented, “This was serious. We don’t need any stunts to sell this fight.”
