Joshua and Ngannou
Anthony Joshua has vowed to make a statement and deliver a knockout victory over Francis Ngannou in Fridays crossover super-fight in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua is currently on a three-fight winning streak and building back towards being in world title contention, most recently despatching Otto Wallin in a dominant five-round win in December.
AJ is expecting a different test against Ngannou in their non-title contest, having seen the mixed martial arts star push Tyson Fury close in his professional boxing debut last October, although is relishing the opportunity to impress again.
I believe I can knock him out, Joshua exclusively told Sky Sports. Definitely. I would love to knock him out and make a statement.
Physically I feel strong, feeling good. Strong enough to get the job done and mentally Im in a place where Im ready for war. Im looking forward to the challenge.
Mentally I dont worry so much about my opponent and look at what my opponent can bring to me and think, ˜how can I overcome these challenges they present? I work really hard to up my game and look forward to showing everything Ive worked on. (The PUNCH)
