- In March, Joshua will compete in Saudi Arabia against Ngannou, the former UFC champion.
- Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will square off just one month before then. He’s prepared!
If Anthony Joshua defeats Francis Ngannou, Lennox Lewis has questioned if Joshua “deserves” a chance to defend the undisputed heavyweight title.
The 58-year-old British boxing star is the last person to hold the undisputed heavyweight title and a three-time champion.
After facing former UFC champion Ngannou in Saudi Arabia in March, Joshua may have the opportunity to establish himself as the greatest heavyweight on the planet.
