Joe Joyce Warns Anthony Joshua: "Wild Card" Ngannou Can Pack a Punch
In a surprising twist, UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has emerged as a potential threat to Anthony Joshua, at least according to British heavyweight contender Joe Joyce. With the two giants set to face off on Friday, March 8, live on Sky Sports Box Office, Joyce reflects on his intense sparring session with Ngannou in Las Vegas, emphasizing the power and unpredictability the MMA fighter brings to the boxing ring. Joyce acknowledges that Ngannou's transition from the UFC to boxing might make him a "wild card" but asserts that the ferocity and power displayed against Tyson Fury indicate he can pose a genuine threat to Joshua. Despite Ngannou's relative inexperience in the boxing world, Joyce respects his abilities and sees him as a formidable opponent. The chief support for the Joshua-Ngannou event features a heavyweight clash between Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. Joyce, having faced both fighters, offers insights into the matchup, predicting that Parker's mobility and potential to capitalize on Zhang's fatigue in the later rounds could be the key to victory. As Joyce prepares for his own comeback fight against Kash Ali on March 16, he expresses his eagerness to return to the top tier of heavyweight competition. Eyeing potential rematches with Parker and Daniel Dubois, and with aspirations to face the likes of Wilder, Joshua, Fury, and Usyk, Joyce believes the heavyweight division offers an exciting array of matchups for fans. In a sport driven by entertainment, Joe Joyce remains a heavyweight force to be reckoned with, ready to take on anyone in the division. #JoeJoyce #AnthonyJoshua #FrancisNgannou #HeavyweightBoxing #SkySportsBoxOffice #JoshuaVsNgannou #BoxingPreview #JoyceComeback
