Francis Ngannou’s remarkable boxing debut against Tyson Fury has caught the attention of Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn. Hearn is considering Ngannou as a potential opponent for his client, Anthony Joshua.
Hearn expressed interest in Ngannou as a potential opponent for Joshua, highlighting the potential for a massive showdown. He also mentioned other potential opponents for Joshua, including Joseph Parker and the winner of the Fury-Usyk fight.
Despite discussions of potential opponents, Joshua recently secured a victory over Otto Wallin, while Ngannou’s future in boxing is yet to be determined. Hearn indicated that plans for a potential Joshua-Wilder match were disrupted after Wilder’s loss to Parker. However, he remains open to future possibilities.
The boxing landscape is set to become more defined after the upcoming Fury-Usyk fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship in February. Hearn believes Joshua has earned the right to face the winner of that fight, with the potential for a rematch with Ngannou on the horizon if Fury emerges as the victor.
Hearn expressed his eagerness for Joshua to engage in significant fights and potentially secure a rematch with Usyk. Looking ahead, he emphasized the importance of strategic planning to ensure Joshua’s participation in high-stakes bouts in the future.
