British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua has sent a note of warning to his opponent Francis Ngannou ahead of their scheduled boxing match-up set to take place in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua, who appears to have rediscovered his form recently after winning his last three boxing bouts, vowed to make ‘a statement’ by knocking out Francis Ngannou when they face each other on Friday.
The pugilist, who sounded the note of warning during a recent interview with Sky Sports, revealed that he’s physically and mentally prepared to knock out his opponent.
He said; “I believe I can knock him out. Definitely. I would love to knock him out and make a statement.
“Physically, I feel strong, feeling good. Strong enough to get the job done and mentally I’m in a place where I’m ready for war. I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Joshua told Sky Sports.
Joshua, a former unified WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight champion, has won his last three fights against Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin.
