Anthony Joshua agrees deal to face Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia
Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will face Mix Martial Art (MMA) star Francis Ngannou in a boxing match this year.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed this on his X account.
Ngannou shocked the world on his professional boxing debut when he floored World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Tyson Fury last October.
However, Fury recovered from the knock down to win on points via split decision.
But Ngannou is back to take on another British heavyweight, Anthony Joshua , who is rebuilding his career after successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
On Friday night it was revealed that both Joshua and Ngannou had signed a deal for the ten-round bout which will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The fight was confirmed by Hearn, who wrote:”Tonight we confirm it’s a done deal! @anthonyjoshua v @francis_ngannou collide on a huge night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – press conference Jan 15 in London with full details dropping soon!”
