Simon Jordan is the newest pundit to explain Anthony Joshua’s upcoming conflict with Francis Ngannou a money seize.
Joshua is ready to face ex-UFC heavyweight champion, Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on March 8, with the showdown set to be formally introduced at a press convention in London on Monday.
Ngannou will compete in simply his second skilled boxing match, after struggling a contentious cut up resolution loss to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a non-title bout in October, though his efficiency rewarded him with a high 10 rating with the WBC.
Jordan has joined former tremendous middleweight champion, Carl Froch within the perception that the conflict is only for monetary functions and has slammed the WBC for rating the ‘The Predator’ so extremely.
“Ngannou has ridiculously been put inside the highest 10 of the WBC,” Jordan stated on talkSPORT.
“Which is nearly preposterous.
“It is a cash combat that the Saudis need to placed on.
“They’re the blokes with the cash proper now. They’re the blokes which can be creating all of the options to the issues we’ve had.
“Do I believe this combat has any extra credibility than [Ngannou vs] Tyson Fury? Marginally.
“However, do I count on Anthony Joshua to take care of Francis Ngannou extra successfully than Tyson Fury did? Completely.”
Ngannou shocked the world when he dropped Fury within the third spherical and was believed to have finished sufficient to win the combat, in line with many observers.
‘AJ’ had signed to combat Deontay Wilder, however these plans have been scuppered after ‘The Bronze Bomber’ was comfortably outpointed by Joseph Parker in December on the identical card as Joshua, who pressured Otto Wallin to retire after 5 rounds.
The 37-year-old Cameroonian will fill the void left by Wilder and in line with Forbes, is predicted to earn over $20m from the bout, which can reportedly be a 10-round contest.
