Former UFC heavyweight titleholder, Francis Ngannou, didn’t let the news that Tyson Fury suffered a dissection and pulled out of his Ultimate Fighting Championship bout against Alexander Usik, which was scheduled to take place on February 17 in Riyadh.
“So now Joshua and I fight for the absolute title on March 9?”, “The Predator” wrote on social media.
Francis Ngannou made his professional boxing debut last October, losing by split decision to Tyson Fury after ten rounds, sending the reigning WBC world champion to a knockdown in the third round.
The Cameroonian will next box on March 9 in Riyadh against former world champion Anthony Joshua, and the winner of this fight was supposed to face the winner of the fight between Fury and Usik.
It should be noted that following the results of the competitive confrontation with the British “World Boxing Council” decided to include Ngannou in the official ranking, putting him on the tenth line in the heavyweight division of the WBC.
