Anthony Joshua had just won last month and quickly announced his return to the ring. The former heavyweight champion will face the former UFC champion, Francis Ngannou, in Saudi Arabia in March, according to sources. Ngannou has one fight under his belt, that is, against Tyson Fury, the current WBC heavyweight champion. However, that one fight was impressive enough to seal the deal.

The news of the upcoming bout has brewed excitement in the boxing world and ignited several opinions. Amidst this, ‘AJ’, chose to hype up the event with a special video game reference. It was from the acclaimed GTA series.

Anthony Joshua hypes up the fans

In a recent post, ‘AJ,’ appears to be getting back into his training camp and reveals that he would make the walk out of the tunnel once again on the 8th of March this year. The opponent? None other than the ‘Predator,’ himself. He is coming back to the ring just after competing last month against Otto Wallin. Owing to his consistency, he made a GTA San Andreas reference, too. In the game, the protagonist, Carl “CJ” Johnson, states, “Ahh Sh*t. Here we go again,” every time he respawns. This is exactly what “AJ” stated, captioning his post with the date, “Ahh Sh*t, here we go again. 8/3/24.”

The above revelation goes to show that the fight is confirmed, and one can now sit back to see how the cards unfold. This matchup has left the boxing world in anticipation. But let’s find out who Eddie Hearn, the promoter of the former two-time heavyweight champion favors in this bout.

According to Hearn, Joshua is a superior boxer than Ngannou. While asserting he would win, he implies that there is not much threat to Joshua from Ngannou, despite his ferocious style of fighting. And he remains confident that AJ will triumph. While speaking to Ariel Helwani, he stated, “I promise you this, respect to Francis, easy work for my man.”
