Francis Ngannou has named three boxing rivals

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who is set to share the ring with Anthony Joshua this weekend, has spoken about how he sees his future career in professional boxing.

“If you follow boxing or even just think about heavyweight boxing, there hasn’t been a moment in the last ten years that Anthony Joshua hasn’t been in the top three,” “The Predator” told DAZN. “That’s why me being in the UFC and dreaming of boxing, I was thinking about this fight four years ago. He was one of the top three boxers I dreamed of facing.”

“Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Walder. I have the same names in my head and I still want to do the Wilder fight. I’ll do a fight with Joshua, then a fight with Wilder, and a rematch with Tyson Fury. A lot will depend on how the fight with Joshua goes, and we’ll find out soon. But yeah, Wilder is still on my list.”

Thus, the Cameroonian heavyweight once again made it clear that he is not interested in a fight with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usik, who on May 18 will try to win the title of absolute world champion in heavyweight boxing in a confrontation with Tyson Fury.

Recall that the bout between Francis Ngannou and Anthony Joshua will take place on March 8 in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
