"He resembles a playboy". Ngannou pointed out a key distinction between Fury and Joshua

Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou compared his former and future opponents - Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Ngannou considers Joshua to be a more serious personality, while likening the 'Gypsy King' to a playboy.

”Anthony Joshua never trash talks, his personality is more serious unlike Tyson Fury who is more like a playboy. I think when it comes to fighting, they both know how to fight and that’s what I’m focused on.

He might have been nervous but that doesn’t mean anything, in fact I think being nervous means he is taking things very serious. It’s very important because he’s going to do his best to show up on the day with everything.” Ngannou said.

In October, Ngannou made his professional boxing debut against Fury. The Franco-Cameroonian lost by split decision despite knocking down the Briton in the third round.

The bout between Ngannou and Joshua is scheduled for March 8th in Saudi Arabia.
