Francis Ngannou will look to stun the boxing world when he takes on Anthony Joshua with hopes of building on his remarkable debut against Tyson Fury.

How is it that a human-being constructed like Francis Ngannou can enter a fist fight as something of an enigma? It is right there staring you in the face, no veil to his threat nor any secrets as to where the danger lies. And yet mystery remains. A glaring 'if' remains. Maybe the challenge facing Anthony Joshua is being over-sold? Maybe too much stock in the Ngannou power is a disservice to that of Joshua? Maybe Joshua resigns his counterpart to boxing irrelevance? Maybe he doesn't.

'Francis gave 80 per cent, we held back 20, we went a safe route. Had it been a six-round fight we'd have said 'Francis go get him!' but it was 10 rounds. 'We had to play it safe, it was his first outing. This time, that won't be the case.
