Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua's promoter, states Ngannou poses a challenge to Joshua in upcoming boxing match on March 8th, requiring strategic wear-down before knockout attempts.

Eddie Hearn, promoter for Anthony Joshua, has warned that Joshua's upcoming fight against Francis Ngannou on March 8th is not an easy match-up. Hearn stated that Ngannou's "stubbornness" and impressive power make it a fight with "a lot of jeopardy". He suggests that Joshua will need to adopt a measured approach, as opposed to his standard aggressive style, and wear down Ngannou before attempting a knockout blow. This would be Joshua's fourth fight in just 11 months, as he looks to position himself for a potential match against the winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's upcoming undisputed world heavyweight title fight.
