With the heavyweight boxing landscape suddenly wide open due to Tyson Fury’s injury-induced postponement of his undisputed title fight, Francis Ngannou has made a bold move.
The former UFC heavyweight champion took to social media to suggest his upcoming March 8th bout against Anthony Joshua be elevated to an “undisputed” title fight.
With Ngannou and Joshua’s announced non-title bout remains scheduled. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ capitalizing on the unexpected turn of events, wrote:
This cheeky call comes amidst Joshua’s own aspirations to use a potential win over Ngannou as a springboard towards an undisputed title shot. The former unified champion seeks redemption after suffering back-to-back defeats to Usyk, and Ngannou represents another high-profile opponent.
Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, is no stranger to big fights. His boxing debut against Fury, despite ending in a split decision loss, showcased his raw power and potential in the squared circle.
