Elite combat sports athlete Francis Ngannou will have a golden opportunity to enrich his legacy when he takes on former two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua in Riyadh on March 9.
Ex-UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou proved his mettle in the boxing ring late last year – knocking down the current WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury before losing by a controversial split-decision.
The Cameroonian’s performance in Saudi Arabia against an all-time great with the calibre of the ‘Gypsy King’ put Ngannou on the boxing map – and it has earned him a bout with the in-form Joshua.
The Brit will enter March’s showdown off the back of a successful 2023 – securing three wins against Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin – two of which came via stoppage.
A draw is garnering the widest odds in the market at 20/1.
In the ‘Method of Victory’ market, Joshua is odds-on at 4/11 to win by KO/TKO, and 5/1 to be victorious by decision.
Meanwhile, his opponent has been boosted to 6/1 to win by KO/TKO, and is a long 20/1 to get the nod on the judges’ scorecard.
In addition to the boost mentioned above, a second boost with 11/2 odds is available for Anthony Joshua to win by KO/TKO in rounds 5-6.
