Many observers criticized Tyson Fury for not respecting Francis Ngannou enough during their boxing bout last October. Anthony Joshua, the Cameroonian's next opponent, is determined not to repeat the same mistake. The Nigerian-born Briton has already lost two fights to Andy Ruiz and Olexandr Usyk when he was considered the favorite.
"Before, we were already talking about this fight and I said: 'No, it's a buzz fight'.But today, no, it's the biggest challenge of my life. I wanted to fight for titles, I wanted to lead my career towards the belts. This fight always takes me to glory. I have to win, and when I win, I'll fight for the title, that's boxing: snakes and ladders.You win, you go up, you lose, you go down.I've got to win to keep going," says Anthony Joshua.
His fight against Francis Ngannou is scheduled for March 8 in Saudi Arabia.
