Francis Ngannou Signs Boxing Bout With Anthony Joshua

Ngannou Makes Second Career Switch

Tyson Fury Bout Nixed

March 8, 2024 7:42 PM ET - After signing a boxing bout with Tyson Fury that ultimately fell through, Francis Ngannou has signed a deal with Anthony Joshua to fight on August 17, 2023. This will be Ngannou's second career boxing match, after losing to Tyson Fury in his debut. Ngannou is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and many believe he will be a force to be reckoned with in the boxing ring as well. Joshua is also a former Heavyweight Champion, and a win over him would give Ngannou a huge boost in the boxing world. The fight is expected to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
