Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou: Live Stream, Betting Odds & Fight Card

We are officially in fight week, and on Friday, we will all witness a monster heavyweight battle between former unified champion Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou (0-1). This one is titled “Knockout Chaos,” and the oddsmakers are banking that this will indeed be the result.

Joshua has been an active heavyweight as he gloved up three times last year, with his latest being a knockout in December over Otto Wallin. That was under the tutelage of Ben Davidson, and Joshua has kept him on since then. Can Joshua do the same as he did to Wallin against Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia?

Ngannou is riding a big wave as he gave the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury all he could handle in December, which was his pro boxing debut. It was so impressive that the WBC decided to rank him at number ten, which is a shock given he lost his pro debut. Regardless, Ngannou earned this big fight against Joshua, but can he have big back-to-back performances against top-level heavyweights?
