The UFC and boxing worlds collide on Friday when Anthony Joshua squares off against Francis Ngannou. Read on to see which fighter has the odds in their favor and whose corner one pop superstar is placing his chips.
Can a heavyweight star from the UFC thrive in the sport of boxing? Later today, Francis Ngannou will attempt to prove he has the chops to do so when he faces former world champion Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia. Joshua is looking to get back into title contention after losing his heavyweight belts to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021. He has won his last three fights, with his most recent coming on December 23 against Otto Wallin. He has a professional record of 27-3.
Anthony Joshua: -340 Francis Ngannou: +260 *odds as of 3/8/2024 It's no surprise that Joshua is the betting favorite considering he is a classically trained boxer still in his prime, but the odds definitely consider Ngannou more of a threat than they did before his impressive debut against Fury. And the books aren't the only ones excited by Ngannou's introduction into the sweet science. None other than rap superstar Drake has dropped a hefty sum on the Cameroonian heavyweight.
