Anthony Joshua to Face Francis Ngannou on 8th of March 2024 in Saudi Arabia

Anthony Joshua is set to step into the boxing ring once again, this time facing former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on March 8, 2024, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This showdown follows Joshua’s triumphant return against Otto Wallin in December, marking his journey back into the elite heavyweight boxing scene.

Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, made headlines by knocking down Tyson Fury, the current WBC heavyweight champion, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last October.

Although Ngannou lost that bout on a split decision, his resilience has earned him recognition, currently holding the 10th rank in the WBC’s heavyweight fighters and considered by many boxing enthusiasts as a true champion.

As anticipation builds for this clash of titans, fans and pundits alike are eager to witness how Anthony Joshua will fare against the powerful Cameroonian.

The match is expected to draw global attention, adding another chapter to the dynamic narratives of these two heavyweight fighters.

The venue, Saudi Arabia, continues to establish itself as a significant hub for marquee sporting events, and this bout is poised to contribute to the kingdom’s growing reputation in hosting high-profile international competitions.
