Ngannou had his professional boxing debut last October when he faced WBC and lineal world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a 10-round non-title. To the surprise of many, Ngannout put forth a terrific performance against Fury, where he even managed to drop him with a beautifully timed counter in round 3. At the end of 10 rounds, Fury escaped with a razor-thin split decision victory. Many observers, however, believed that Ngannou had done enough to deserve the victory.

On the other side, Joshua is a former two-time unified heavyweight champion. Since losing his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk back in 2022, AJ has been on the comeback trail. He has been especially active in a day and age where top heavyweights typically only fight once or twice a year. Joshua fought three times last year, and suddenly, he is on a three-fight-winning streak. It started last April when AJ was awarded a 12-round unanimous decision against Jermaine Franklin. Then, in August, Joshua stopped Robert Helenius in round 7. And then, of course, in the primary event fight on the Boxing Day of Reckoning back in December, Joshua outclassed Otto Wallin, and Otto’s corner stopped the fight after round 5 concluded.
