I’ll Take Anthony Joshua’s Soul On March 8 – Francis Ngannou

Cameroonian mixed martial arts fighter, Francis Ngannou has come out to warn that Anthony Joshua doesn’t have the strength to win their highly-anticipated fight.

Francis will face Joshua in Saudi Arabia on March 8 after the Brit’s bout with Deontay Wilder fell through, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if it is not impossible for Joshua to beat him in March, he does not believe he has the required strength to win that bout.

Francis added that he would take Joshua’s soul on that day, and everyone will confirm it in two months time.

His words, “Never say never. Nothing is impossible. We don’t know the strength of Anthony Joshua.

Even though I don’t believe he has that strength, we’re going to find out. In two months, we’re going to find out. I’m going to be the one taking his soul.”

WOW.

Anthony Joshua, OBE (born 15 October 1989) is a British professional boxer who is a two-time unified heavyweight champion, having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles since December 2019 and previously between 2016 and June 2019. At regional level, he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry. Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people, amongst whom he is of aristocratic rank.

His cousin, Ben Ileyemi, is also a professional boxer. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013. Joshua spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School in Ikenne.

Following his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, he was called “Femi” by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name, Oluwafemi. He excelled at football and athletics and broke his school’s Year Nine 100 m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.
