Eddie Hearn talks Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua super fight.
‘Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora, Jermaine Franklin, he has no chance against those guys, other than to be aggressive, trade up, and catch someone clean and take him out.

‘I think that you are right in your statement, people would give fighters a much better chance against AJ having watched that performance. In your world, that translates to Francis Ngannou. And why not? I don’t feel like it’s a fight that’s going to continue the development of Anthony Joshua under his new trainer.

‘I had lunch with Francis Ngannou, you know his story, I was completely gobsmacked by the story of this man.

‘People need to be educated about what that man has been through and his story, I found him fascinating, a lovely guy, I would love to do something.’

If the bout is to happen, it’s unlikely it’ll be anytime soon. Joshua is coming off a win over Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena in London, and the Watford-born revealed he targets December for his next outing.

Ngannou’s next move is still up in the air, with numerous promotions recently revealing they’ve been in talks with the former UFC heavyweight champion.
