Anthony Joshua is one of the biggest names in the boxing world. Along with him, another fighter who won the hearts of many fans in his very first fight is Francis Ngannou. Recently, promoter Eddie Hearn teased a match-up between the two which made boxing fans go wild worldwide. Will this fight happen, only time shall tell.

Francis Ngannou, in his very first professional boxing match against Tyson Fury, made a solid statement. His performance solidified him as the real deal. According to Eddie Hearn, Ngannou should capitalize on his bout with boxing mega-star the Gypsy King and go after other big opponents to create more fights that the fans would love to see. Similarly, AJ too is a fan favorite and has been drawing eyes to the sport of boxing.
