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

[Ropeydope]

I hated this fight when Fury booked it. I panned it at every opportunity, but this is different. Fury was expected to dominate and he clearly didn’t. Josh and Fury have been “marinating” the “all british super fight” for ever. If not Wilder, let’s get a more recent comparison opponent. Is Ngannou really a gifted boxer or is Fury a shot, silk pajamas, puddle of muffin sludge?
This is Joshua’s chance to make boxing great again after the Gypsy fraud dragged it through the mud.

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.

I knew this would happen. I never rated Joshua as highly as a lot of people, and this doesn’t help sway my opinion. Ngannou, as decent as he is for a novice, is being used by the Hearn machine so AJ can duck Zhang or anyone else who has more of a pulse than Helenius and Wallin.

Joshua will beat Ngannou easily but I’m happy for Ngannou. If Joshua loses it serves him right.This fight is happening because Fury made a fool of himself going life and death with a retired dodgy knee MMA fighter.

Wallin was a stiff for Fury but a great win for AJ and Ngannou was an absolute farce despite Eddie already trying to negotiate a fight with him previously.

And now he's fighting him wonder what shít he'll say about how much of a great fight this is...

The guy will literally lick boots for a dollar, he doesn't realise how much of a joke he makes himself appear because almost everything this clown ever says is on the internet and "it's forever" as they say.

You’re missing the point. Wallin was a stiff for both, only he had success against Fury. After losing twice to a generational great, AJ is exposing the Gypsy fraud for what he is. After all these Saudi galas are through it will be a Usyk-Joshua trilogy fight.
I was high on Fury during his comeback, and I’ve never been on the AJ train, but this is interesting to me at this point in time.

Mostly I just hope AJ doesn't embarrass the sport by getting knocked out.

[roademier]

Not a bad fight at all. I swear Boxing fans are never happy.

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

[Mammoth]

Don't be surprised if this does better than Fury-Ngannou. This fight seems a lot funner on paper to me.

I just need the Saudis to fix the pacing of their cards.
