Fernando Quiles - January 28, 2024

Francis Ngannou’s MMA coach believes he knows where his fighter can catch Anthony Joshua slipping. After shocking the world, not with a win but with his performance against Tyson Fury last year, Ngannou is scheduled to fight Joshua on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Reports have claimed that the winner will most likely compete for undisputed gold after Fury and Oleksandr Usyk settle their February 17 showdown for all the gold.

Anthony Joshua downplays undisputed title shot if he beats Francis Ngannou: "I'm not focusing on that"

Fernando Quiles - January 28, 2024

Former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua insists he isn’t thinking about undisputed gold going into his planned fight with Francis Ngannou. When Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn and Queensberry Promotions’ Frank Warren came together to host a heavyweight themed event in Saudi Arabia in late 2023, the idea was to set the stage for a 2024 showdown between Joshua and Deontay Wilder. It wasn’t meant to be, as Wilder was defeated by Joseph Parker via unanimous decision. Joshua finished Otto Wallin with relative ease.

Bo Nickal thinks it’s inevitable that Khamzat Chimaev will receive a UFC title shot, but he doesn’t feel he deserves one. Chimaev had been promised a UFC Middleweight Championship opportunity with a win over Kamaru Usman at UFC 294. Chimaev defeated the former welterweight titleholder via majority decision, and he’s been pounding the table to get his shot. Some believe Israel Adesanya is the favorite to fight Dricus Du Plessis for the gold next despite his hiatus.
