UFC Fighter, Francis Ngannou plans to fully test Anthony Joshua’s chin on March 8 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, Goldstar Promotions and GIMIK Fight Promotions are delivering the event to fans across the world.

At a full press conference Ngannou warns he won’t leave it in the hands of the judges but Anthony Joshua vows to be laser focused from the first bell.

According to Anthony Joshua, “Every fight leads to somewhere, so this fight is my everything; my soul, my spirit, my mind, my body.”

But Ngannou said “I don’t take my last fight as a reference, I know exactly where I am at, I’m going to get better and better and that’s how I see things.

“I will do something that no-one has done before and I believe I have the tools to do that, starting with having the win over ‘AJ’ on March 8 in a big fight – not an easy fight, but a possible one and I am going to take it.

“I’m going to fight him, so what do you think I am going to do? I will look for his chin. That’s what you do in a fight, you try to hit someone on the chin or wherever to try to hurt him. I heard he doesn’t have a chin, I don’t know if it’s true or not, we’re going to find out and I hope that I have the opportunity to test that – that’s my wish.”
