“I’m rooting for Francis to win just since his story, how far he’s been available in life, and him being a fellow blended martial artist,” stated Jones. “How could you not root for Francis? Francis is a terrific, stand-up individual. I’m rooting for Francis.

“But Anthony Joshua has actually been doing this given that he was a young kid. I’m the kind of guy who offers regard where it’s due. If I personally had to put my cash on it– not that I bet– I would put it on Anthony Joshua. I am rooting for Francis. Sorry, Francis.”

Ngannou turned heads in the boxing world when he nearly beat Tyson Fury in late 2023. Regardless of the split choice loss, Ngannou’s efficiency was so outstanding that he made his launching on the main WBC rankings.
