I know the Ferreira guy definitely intrigues Francis more in my opinion. I think it’s gonna depend on what’s gonna happen in this Joshua fight. I think if he goes out and performs well or knocks this dude out, I think it puts him in a position to be fighting for the world title. I think it really hinders on what happens March 8 on what goes on from that point, whether we’ll be back to MMA or he’s fighting for the belt (in boxing).
Ngannou will have a boxing match against former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua on March🉐 8 🧜in Riyadh.
Ngannou made his professional ring debut in October 2023 against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The fight went the 𝄹distance and ended with Ngannou's defeat by split decision.
