How to Watch Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua


The next chapter in former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Francis Ngannou’s quest for boxing glory will go down against heavyweight star Anthony Joshua when they headline Matchroom Boxing’s “Knockout Chaos” on Friday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Now signed with the Professional Fighters League, Ngannou grabbed headlines when he left the UFC and transitioned to boxing in 2023 with a maiden quest against lineal heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury. Despite a controversial loss, the boxing world saw glimpses of the famed power of “The Predator” that had left behind a trail of fallen victims in mixed martial arts. This time, he seems determined to put on another stellar performance and test Joshua’s chin. Joshua, meanwhile, is on a quest to re-establish his dominance in the heavyweight bracket. Fresh off a decisive victory against Otto Wallin, the 34-year-old claims to be prepared to face the challenge posed by Ngannou and solidify his status as the top contender to face the winner of the upcoming Fury-Oleksandr Usyk bout.
