Joshua vs. Ngannou Unconventional Showdown Set to Ignite Riyadh
This Friday promises an early wake-up call for boxing enthusiasts in the UK and U.S., as the much-anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou takes center stage on DAZN PPV. With the event kicking off at 10:20 am ET and 3:20 pm UK time from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, fans may find themselves adjusting schedules to witness the blockbuster showdown. The Saudis, dictating the schedule, seem unperturbed by the inconvenient times for American and British audiences, confident in the lure of the heavyweight spectacle. Priced at $39.00 on DAZN, along with a subscription, or $69.99 on PPV.com, the card not only features the headline event but also includes compelling matchups such as Zhilei Zhang vs. Joseph Parker and Nick Ball vs. Rey Vargas on the undercard. Anthony Joshua, exuding confidence ahead of the clash, views Friday as a golden opportunity to showcase his talent and mental strength. The British boxer, having secured victories in his last three outings, enters the ring with optimism. However, the looming question remains: how will Joshua fare against the formidable puncher Ngannou, especially considering the lack of formidable opponents in recent years? Joshua's anticipation extends beyond the fight itself, expressing eagerness to return to training and build on his progress over the past 12 months. Reflecting on his recent matches, he emphasizes a newfound strength and rhythm, seemingly ready to face the challenges posed by Ngannou. Unfazed by external distractions, Joshua redirects his focus to personal growth, stating, "I’m not too worried about Fury and Usyk. Who knows if they’ll even get in the ring? I’m just worried about myself. That’s the most important thing." As the countdown to the unconventional Friday morning clash begins, fans eagerly await a spectacle that could reshape the heavyweight landscape. #AnthonyJoshua #FrancisNgannou #HeavyweightClash #RiyadhShowdown #DAZNPPV
