Fight fans have been raving over the official promo video for Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou, with some describing it as the best ever.
Joshua and Ngannou will face off in Saudi Arabia on Friday March 8, with anticipation high among fans following Ngannou’s impressive pro boxing debut against Tyson Fury last year.
Fury was handed a controversial points victory in that fight but Ngannou did more than enough to suggest he could be a problem for other top fighters.
The greatest promo ever?
The official promo video for his fight with AJ dropped this week and fans are loving it.

Meanwhile, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed that the winner of this fight will take on the winner of Fury’s May 18 meeting with Oleksandr Usyk.
“His Excellency said the winner of this fight faces the winner of Fury-Usyk,” Hearn told the MMA Hour. “That is a dream chance for us because we chased that for so long.

“AJ is going to beat Francis Ngannou, and then he’s going to beat the winner of Fury-Usyk, and he’s going to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion.”
Joshua, 34, played down any retirement talk ahead of the showdown with Ngannou. “On this quest for greatness how far can I push myself?” Joshua said.
“How much can my brain keep on going until it gives up and I’m like: I can’t do it anymore?
“I want to keep on pushing my brain and trying new things. Get quicker, stronger, smarter in the ring. Face challenges, because I learn so much about myself. And then when it’s enough, enough is enough.”
