Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou: Cristiano Ronaldo to announce boxing project soon

Here are 3 reasons why Anthony Joshua could cause an upset against Francis Ngannou
1. Anthony Joshua wants to be World Champion again
Many believe Anthony Joshua will easily defeat Francis Ngannou in their crossover match.
Joshua needs to defeat Ngannou to continue trying to get back into the running for the world title.
Because there will be a large pot of gold at the end of the fight, Joshua is aware of the obligation he will have to fulfill to regain his title as world champion.
Should Joshua win against Ngannou he will get an opportunity to take on Fury.
2 Anthony Joshua's career depends on a win
The battle is riskier than it is rewarding because, should Joshua lose against Ngannou, his career will be destroyed.
His credibility will be lost, and a lot of work will need to be done to restore his place among the elite in heavyweight boxing.
All of Joshua's accomplishments—including winning two heavyweight titles and competing in the Olympics—would be lost if he is defeated by Ngannou.
This is because a loss to a man who had only fought in boxing once before is too damaging.
Joshua knows the stakes and he will respond accordingly in the ring.
3. Anthony Joshua has the experience to win against Francis Ngannou
With a professional record of 30 fights, 27 wins, and 3 losses, Joshua is three years younger than Ngannou and possesses the experience of a long-duration fighter.
Joshua is going to pick apart Ngannou if he gets fatigued overextends himself, and leaves himself vulnerable.
It could appear like a very easy night for him.
Joshua is extremely accurate and powerful, therefore, he knows how to land and deliver a punch.
Joshua's experience is his biggest advantage in this match.
He is a two-time unified champion and won gold in the Olympics in London.
Joshua most likely possesses the finest understanding of fundamentals among all the elite competitors in the division.
His well-practiced left jab opens up a vast array of strong blows that can shock Ngannou.
