Heavyweight Matty Harris Expects Joshua to Dominate Ngannou in Potential Clash"
Heavyweight contender Matty Harris is gearing up for his return to the ring on March 1 in Telford, aiming to rebuild his career after suffering his first defeat last July. Despite the setback, Harris remains confident and is making significant changes to his setup, enlisting the expertise of Peter Fury to lead his comeback. Harris's unexpected loss to Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko prompted a reevaluation of his training approach. Under the guidance of Peter Fury, known for coaching top-tier fighters like Tyson Fury and Hughie Fury, Harris is determined to get back on track. While Harris is focused on his own journey to redemption, he also offered insights into the boxing world's buzzing potential matchup between Anthony Joshua and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Harris, who was part of Ngannou's training camp ahead of his boxing debut against Tyson Fury, didn't mince words about his assessment of Ngannou's skills. In a recent statement, Harris expressed his disappointment with Ngannou's performance during their sparring sessions. According to Harris, Ngannou's style mirrored what he displayed against Tyson Fury – a style Harris deems susceptible, particularly when opponents maintain distance. “I was sparring Ngannou in September and October ahead of the Fury fight, and he wasn't good,” Harris emphasized. “He [Ngannou] boxed exactly the same [vs Fury] when he sparred me. You have to stand off at range with him. I will not give too much away, but he wasn’t that great." Harris believes that Ngannou has no chance against Anthony Joshua and predicts that Joshua would "go straight through him, no problem." The critique extends to Ngannou's recent fight against Tyson Fury, where he impressed by dropping the WBC world heavyweight champion but ultimately lost via a close split decision. Harris attributes Ngannou's performance to an inadequate preparation and an overall lack of readiness compared to Joshua. As the boxing world speculates about potential matchups, Harris's insights add an intriguing perspective to the ongoing narrative, setting the stage for what could be a compelling clash in the heavyweight division. #MattyHarris #AnthonyJoshua #FrancisNgannou #PeterFury #HeavyweightBoxing #BoxingInsights #RingReturn
