What an absolute pathetic scumbag LIAR this BOZO is

As much as I hate the Fury/Francis fight, Joshua didn’t get offered. There’s no point for the UFC heavyweight champion to challenge…some guy who boxes occasionally.

According to Ngannou's manager, AJ turned down an offer to fight Francis because he was scared of getting KTFO.

Whatever Eddie, you were VERY interested! Now you're throwing shade because you couldn't get it done!

They’re not mad at all, Hearn had a meeting with Ngannou months ago and educated him on how boxing business works and wished him good luck . No way Joshua would take a fight like that and no way would he get a pass as a champion fighting any MMA fighter let alone a champion in MMA ,you think Fury was bad with the backlash ? Lol

Joshua would fight him in MMA or box with MMA gloves before he would just do a normal boxing match which is a waste of time really as it holds no mystique about what’s supposed to happen . Hearn said it himself that Ngannou has a better chance against Joshua because both will absolutely knock one another out , Fury will just box if he feels threatened and could just coast which is likely to happen if this is really a exhibition ? The reason why Ngannou wanted Joshua is stylistically it’s a better fight and more money .

He didn’t get it because Joshua didn’t want that kind of fight after 2 losses which he was offered before Franklin .

Yet slave trader junior you still yapped on about it several times.

He's just pissed he doesn't get a cut after his beyond low ball level to sign Fury.

Such a great boxing head on mystic ed.
