Francis Ngannou on fighting Anthony Joshua
When discussing his choices in the boxing ring after signing to restart his career in the cage, Ngannou said on The DAZN MMA Show, “Anthony Joshua is a fight we like.
“We spoke with Eddie Hearn once but that was when Joshua was about to fight Franklin.
"If we bring this to Africa then it is going to be massive. I think this will get him excited, that he can fight in this continent.”
Given that Joshua, a British star, has pledged to box on the continent because of his Nigerian ancestry, Ngannou believes it will be a sizable draw.
However, Joshua and Wilder are already in advanced negotiations for their December matchup in Saudi Arabia.
