English Boxing: Francis Ngannou, a good sparring partner or a “show animal”?

The question deserves to be asked after the two defeats that our compatriot has just suffered in less than a year for his entry into this discipline, the noble Art. A crushing defeat against the British of Nigerian origin Anthony Joshua in the 2nd round only by knockout on the night of Friday to Saturday March 9, 2024. Our compatriot showed shortcomings in his movements on stage, his protection or even his dodging. His image of invincibility was confronted with the harsh reality of his limitations in Boxing.


Was his preparation ideal?


This defeat, although painful, offers him the opportunity to bounce back by getting back to work, a good preparation in order to return to the ring or return to the cage in MMA, it is still too early to answer. The road to redemption will not be easy but with determination and courage he can return but which way? the Ring or the Cage, very clever who can answer us now.

Our compatriot showed shortcomings in his movements on stage which were a little too heavy, his protection or even his dodging. His image of invincibility was confronted with the reality of his limitations in English Boxinge.


Francis Ngannou, a “fairground animal”?

The question deserves to be asked because as soon as we leave the stage we already announce a return to MMA for August 15, a fight against Ferreira, a tough fighter for the title of PFL heavyweight world champion with an envelope of 10 million dollars at stake. Will he already recover from the Jab, Cross, Hook or uppercut received during the two fights against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua? The future will tell us, it will have at least had the merit of restoring visibility to the noble art in less than a year.


What makes Riyadh so popular in the sporting world?


It is true that the last World Cup in Qatar continues to resonate against a snub to the “big countries” of the sub-region. One of the positive outcomes is Qatar's victory in the last Asian Nations Cup. In order to meet this challenge, the Saudi kingdom has decided to conquer the sporting world by multiplying and investing enormous sums of money over the past few years to attract the big names of king football to the Saudi Pro League in order to make their football championship attractive, which has shaken up the hierarchy on TV rights in terms of attractiveness. This is how the place of Riyadh asserts itself more and more in the noble art with the organization of these fights, just wait and see.
