Francis Ngannou willing to face Anthony Joshua next
Francis Ngannou has revealed he'd be open to facing Anthony Joshua the next time he steps into a boxing ring.
'The Predator' stunned the world with his performance against Tyson Fury back in October, going the distance with the linear heavyweight champion. While he came up short on the night, Ngannou's stock in boxing has risen massively and he has seen himself enter boxing's top 10 rankings in the heavyweight division.
In a recent interview with Club Shay Shay, the former UFC champion stated that he's willing to fight either Deontay Wilder or 'AJ' next. He said:
"Of course, I am willing to fight him [Anthony Joshua]. Even Tyson Fury said he'd knock me out and Tyson is better than Anthony Joshua. What do I care about what people say? I'll fight him [AJ] in anything that he wants."
