Francis Ngannou released his first statement following the announcement of his blockbuster return to the boxing ring.
On Friday (January 5), renowned combat sports journalist and The MMA Hour host, Ariel Helwani, broke the news that Ngannou would make his sophomore appearance inside the squared circle this year against former unified heavyweight world champion, Anthony Joshua.
The news comes less than three months removed from Ngannou’s sensational pro boxing debut against Tyson Fury in Riyadh.
“Massive breaking news on this Friday evening in the world of combat sports,” Helwani said.
