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

Joshua isn't a world champion so he can fight whoever he wants.

It's huge money for both of them and a weird crazy fun fight that we will all be tuning into on fight night.

Way to go, Deontay Wilder. This is all your fault.

Now Eddie Hearn is going to find the easiest opponents he can that will keep his meal ticket earning and safe.

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.

Usyk dont need the money after Fury and i believe, like Fury if he wins will retire undefeated, undisputed.

What would be a fun fight is if he dropped down to cruiser and took on Opetaia. No belts involved but big Saudi dollars.

I love this fight. It's the perfect segueway to Fury crushing the winner. According to Eddie, AJ was supposed to be fighting the stiff from Croatia next, but money talks.

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.’

Yeah and ?

If there's no rematch clause it might make things more interesting but id still expect AJ to be on his bike for 12 rounds cos he won't want to lose by knockout.

If Ngannou lands on him i dont believe he'll recover and if Francis decides to windmill the daylight out of him, he'll quit like Ruiz.

How A-Side Joshy fights depends on whether he has a one-way, two-way or no rematch clause.

Obvious he was gonna duck Emperor Zhang. Joshua better not embarrass boxing like that ****** fat fvkc fury did

Unfortunately that is exactly what is going to happen
I ain’t no Fury fan but I do consider him an all around better boxer with better boxing iq than AJ
I wouldn’t be the least surprised if the mma guy khtfo
Hate this crossover chit

Gotta keep pimping that A-Side Joshy ass to the highest bidder.

I knew that this was going to happen next for Joshua , I saw it coming from a mile away. WAR FRANCIS !

[puroylan]

I'm very happy for Francis making big bucks again. He's team will benefit from it too as he's a nice guy and generous to his team and other people, but I don't see him beating AJ. He will get KO this time. His recent fight with Fury thought AJ not to underestimate Francis.

[pollywog]

So what is this...an exhibition with no rankings involved and no rematch clause ?
