VIDEO. An unconventional promotional video for the Joshua - Ngannou clash has been released

Turki Al al-Sheikh, the head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, has released a promotional video for the upcoming bout between former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

In the video, Joshua and Ngannou collide on the street, then the action shifts to a video game where the boxers knock each other out.

The bout between Joshua and Ngannou is set to take place on March 8th in Saudi Arabia. Zhang Zhilei and Joseph Parker will clash on the undercard.

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

AJ's last fight was in December against Sweden's Otto Wallin. Anthony won by technical knockout in the fifth round.
