Anthony Joshua is set to face Francis Ngannou in March.
The Brit rounded off a solid 2023 by defeating Otto Wallin on the ‘Day Of Reckoning’ card in Saudi Arabia.
But his huge fight with Deontay Wilder fell through after the American dropped a surprising decision defeat to Joseph Parker leaving ‘AJ’ looking for a new opponent.

So Francis Ngannou got the nod and will now face Joshua in what will be his second professional boxing contest and first since narrowly losing to the WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury on a split-decision.
2020 Olympic medalist, Frazier Clarke believes that Joshua will perform well against the former UFC heavyweight champion and expects him to win in style.
Speaking to Sky Sports he said: “The good thing is about that one [Ngannou], we’ve already had a look at him now.”
“Before Fury was like the tester. He had to get in there when he wasn’t quite sure, and neither were we about what he was going to get.
“I think he [Joshua] can beat him and can beat him well.”
Will Joshua defeat Ngannou? Let us know in the comments.
