On that day, Francis Ngannou will bang gloves with Anthony Joshua, a two-time heavyweight boxing champion. But Nelson believed that Joshua could be beaten.
Following Ngannou’s display of his abilities while fighting Tyson Fury last October, many are expecting great things like knocking Anthony Joshua out.
‘Now we know Ngannou can’t be hustled and pressed you have to be on your a-game,’ Johnny Nelson told Boxing King Media. ‘You can’t go in there like Fury did and drop the ball because you’d be embarrassed.
‘He knows Ngannou is tough, strong, and AJ has to be sharp, use his movement, be fit, if not he gets turned over.’
Previously, Nelson has said the following:
‘I think AJ gets the job done easy. Everybody knows what to expect [from Ngannou]. The same happened with Andy Ruiz and his fast hands.
‘At first, you saw a little fat Mexican, nobody respected him then you see what he did to AJ, it’s like damn.
‘How active has Ruiz been since those two fights with AJ? He’s in the who needs him club.’
