Anthony Joshua No Longer Views Francis Ngannou as an MMA Fighter: 'He's a Boxer'

[@rodbrown8306]

Love this type of AJ,...nothing but respect to him.

[@arsenalmanic]

nicest/coolest guy. The Brits are very lucky to have him

Lmao indeed, real happyish. Leads cynical me 2 believe it's been rigged and Anthony can return uninjured. Should he be bitten by a rabid dog he would be dangerous.

[@cnwil4594]

AJ just needs to be himself and use those boxing tools and physicality that makes him different. He has the abilities to redeem himself from whatever challenges put before him. Francis is a tough fighter, but no man is unbeatable. Two good dudes going against each other, the one who is suppose to win will be victorious....

[@greatbaba5072]

True. But let's put it this way: if Joshua wins, it will be the normal outcome. He is supposed to win. He is a good boxer and a world champ, fighting again a man from another sport (ufc)who was said to be too slow to box. But if Ngannou wins, it will be a surprise. An upset as they used to say. Meaning that Joshua will have let himself get surprised by a powerful shot by Ngannou.

[@Fitkid7672]

@@greatbaba5072yeah it would be surprising but not that surprising based on how well he did against fury. U could have gave him that win & that would have been more surprising.

[@themightydragon710]

Francis wont give up

[@brianhanes5413]

Yes but it's excuting watching how AJ rebuilt himself and has taken on all comers throughout his career. We had that surprise with the Ruiz slip up and Ngannou is 2 fights in so he can still bounce back, fight more names for a payday, and then become champ in less than 10 fights. It is definitely better for Boxing that Joshua wins and even combat sports in general. Then we can see AJ vs Fury which people have wanted for years. Maybe that would give Ruiz the motivation to stop being inactive and fight Ngannou where he might earn his 10 million desired payday. ​@greatbaba5072

[@peteredwards2318]

Some boxing fans didn't pay much mind to the fact that Ngannou started his combat sports journey with boxing, but switched up to MMA, wherein he got noticed and went on a rampage in UFC. It's not like his camp for and fight against Fury was his first experience of boxing or training for boxing. Meanwhile, AJ continues to express strength, poise and respect, which is something I appreciate. He and Ngannou both exude quiet, but towering strength. They are both good lads, both in the best shape possible, and the fight promises to be a real barn burner. I'd prefer AJ to win, but I'd be happy either way and am just really looking forward to seeing it all go down.

They call N’Gannou “arrogant” now that he shows confidence, while AJ and Fury have huge, fragile ego’s but that’s all ok because they’re Brits 😂

[@jeremiahjohnson1513]

He's confident about the Ngannou fight...but unlike Fury, not overconfident and knows he needs to prepare because Ngannou actually does have legit boxing skills. The idea that Ngannou couldn't box was false, he started out in boxing when he was 12 yrs. old in his home country. He just hasn't honed those skills against elite boxing talent so his skills are journeyman at best. That was evident in the Fury bout but Fury hadn't trained properly and was not in top shape like he should have been. Even a journeyman boxer can be dangerous to a great champ who doesn't prepare properly. Remember that Leon Spinks beat Muhammad Ali, Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson, Renaldo Snipes nearly knocked out Larry Holmes. Common factor in all those fight were complacent champs who thought they could mail in wins against opponents that were supposed to present them no challenge. Instead they found themselves in dogfights. AJ won't be unprepared, he knows he can outbox Ngannou but needs to be 100% sharp because Ngannou has power and a great chin which makes him dangerous even though his skill level isn't what AJ's is. Fight goes the distance with AJ taking the decision using footwork, movement and the jab to walk Ngannou around the ring picking him apart. Fury should have done the same but thought Ngannou couldn't box at all and didn't think he needed to train and have a strategy.
