Anthony Joshua became the first man to nail Francis Ngannou to the canvas, dispatching the former UFC world champion inside a frantic two rounds in Riyadh with Tyson Fury watching on from ringside.

All eyes will be on Saudi Arabia this weekend as Anthony Joshua takes on Francis Ngannou in one of the biggest crossover fights in history.

It is crazy that we are actually here though. Sure, Ngannou’s name had been flirted with in the past for Joshua, but never did anyone believe that if the pair were to meet, the ex-UFC world champion would be coming in as some sort of elite heavyweight gauge.

He may be only 5ft2, but Nick Ball has been making a big impression on the world of boxing in the past couple of years and this Saturday, he gets his shot at becoming world champion against Mexico’s Rey Vargas.

Whilst all eyes are on Anthony Joshua, and understandably so, there are four other Brits who are raring to go in Riyadh, as the biggest night of their careers draws ever closer.

Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker are a blend of heavyweight that should well deliver us a first-rate fight. So, with the pair colliding just a few days from now, let’s talk.
