Has Boxing Embraced Francis Ngannou Ahead of Anthony Joshua Clash?

The Craic with Petesy Carroll

Ahead of his meeting with Tyson Fury, the boxing world ridiculed Francis Ngannou’s involvement in what they believed was a “gimmick” fight. Now, with the Anthony Joshua clash booked, Gavan Casey of the42.ie returns to discuss how Ngannou’s knockdown of Fury changed everything and how he could become number one contender to the heavyweight title with a win over AJ.
Casey also discusses why boxing people have embraced Ngannou and gives his take on Saudi’s involvement in boxing, how it’s become commonplace for events to take place there and how the muted atmosphere of the events could effect the legacy of the bouts that take place in the region.
