‘Joshua not interested in Ngannou fight’

Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that there was an offer for the former world heavyweight champion to face Francis Ngannou but the British-Nigerian rejected it.

Ngannou has now been lined up to make his professional boxing debut against WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on October 28. The high-profile clash is set to take place in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, Joshua is gearing up for a much-anticipated rematch against Dillian Whyte. Their first encounter, which took place in 2015, was hailed as a classic, and fans are eagerly awaiting their second showdown.
