Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - Done Deal, On Date TBD In Riyadh

[chepboxingking]

Happy ngannou has secured another big payday. Betting on himself has really paid off. With that being said, Joshua won’t make the same mistake fury did and take him lightly. Joshua by KO inside 5 rounds.

Not even a month back, Eddie was claiming that Joshua-Wilder is the biggest fight, even bigger than Fury-Usyk. He also mocked at Fury for fighting Ngannou.

I hope Francis rids boxing of this tender "new breed of heavyweight" clown. This will also make Eddie even bigger s*um.

It would have been but Wilder lost emphatically so there is no money in that fight now, you can’t blame Eddie for that. As for Fury he was probably really jealous Fury got the gig but Fury was garbage so left the door open for AJ to beat up on a big novice for millions of pounds. It’s a no brainer but admittedly distasteful. I personally don’t mind as I’m a huge Ngannou fan. He deserves to be paid handsomely

I don't believe Usyk will ever fight Joshua again. Why should he ?

Money. He’s already on the record as saying that he would. The Saudis will decide in the end. Sad but true. As goes the Chinese proverb, we live in interesting times.

Ngannou gives no fooks.

I don't think anyone has had anything close to this tough of a schedule than Ngannou in 2 pro fights besides Pete Radamacher who debuted vs Floyd Patterson for the HW belt & fought Zora Folley in fight 2.

I'm happy for Francis. He's a nice humble guy who came from absolutely nothing to succeed in MMA to then bet on himself and walk way from the biggest MMA org in the world and look for more lucrative fights and now he's having two back to back and earning ridiculous amounts of money and in the fight with fury he performed out of his skin and definitely earned another big pay day

[NorvernRob]

Lolling so hard right now !

Hope the Sauds pay for Parker v Hrgovic on the undercard.

You posted this literally a couple of hours ago you clown


‘Only problem with Ngannou is that he isnt an over the hill pillow fisted cherry pick or patsy sparring partner.

He will land on A-side Joshy, hurt him and possibly force him to quit for the inevitable rematch.

AJ does not want to be dragged into deep waters before a trash belt becomes available.

The optics wouldn't suit the narrative.’

What a joke. Professional boxers fighting their way to the top so that they can get in the ring with the best of the best. Of course Joshua finds a way to fight a novice who has never won a boxing match. Why fans are ready for Zhang, Hrgovic, Ruiz and Parker to battle for title fight contention with AJ or even the next crops rise to prominence with Sanchez, Anderson, kabayel, Bakoli being AJs opponent who are all far more worthy then an 0-1 fighter. I like Ngannu but he should not be just passing the division because AJs handlers are taking the lightest path possible. After having his ass handed to him in 3 out of 4 fights team AJ has beaten Franklin, Helenious and Otto. Three bums who at the time of AJ getting to them were shot fighters. Now an 0-1 novice because Crazy in the head Fury came in out of shape, over confident and got knocked on his ass now AJ wants him so he can say he beat him easier then Fury. Who the hell cares, Take your balls out of the witness protection plan and fight a deserving ranked guy. I thought Fury should have been stripped for fighting Ngannu. I think AJ should drop behind Zhang and Hrgovic for the upcoming IBf championship fight.

Wow
Not a Fight I expected
But
Another great opportunity for Ngannou to be make more $$$ than he has ever before....

[joe strong]

This is so laughable.

I am not Fury `s fan anymore, but I can`t be Joshua`s either.

Joshua and Hearn are such clowns..

After all the shlt talking they did when Fury signed to fight him & now this? Lol!

On one hand, I will watch and this is good for boxing. On the other hand, it is such a robbery of other boxer's livelihoods that have worked so hard in that specific sport to have that chance.
