John Fury, who is known for being quite open about his opinions on boxing, has now provided a prediction for Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou’s impending bout.
After his son Tyson’s underwhelming performance against Ngannou in October, “Big John” asked for him to change trainers, adjust his technique, and acknowledge that his kid might be declining. Talk about being honest.
After that outcome, he was asked about his thoughts on the next fight by Boxing Social. Sounding cautiously for Joshua, he probably did so because there is no rematch clause.
“To be honest with you, Ngannou proved against Tyson that he is someone you can’t write off. He is a powerful young man who possesses strength and physical attributes. It has been demonstrated that when he approaches an opponent with a drive to succeed and a strong sense of will, he can pose a threat to anyone in the world.
Then he acknowledged that he was excited about the fight and said he thought Joshua would be in trouble if Ngannou managed to land.
“What a delicious sight, and I can assure you that AJ won’t bounce back as quickly if Ngannou tags him.” He gets caught red-handed, AJ, and he doesn’t get back up very well. Nganoou is a different man than Andy Ruiz; he is a huge, six-foot-six man who has a strong sense of self-worth.
Then he praised Joshua for the way he had taken down Wallin.
“Perhaps AJ will do his magic and force Ngannou to require a brown pair of pants. Don’t discount him just because he did it to Otto Wallin; he could have the same impact on Ngannou.
The bout against the winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed clash is much awaited, as is this one as well.
