Joshua (28-3) violently knocked out Ngannou (0-2) in Round 2 at Kingdom Arena, doing what many in the boxing world expected Tyson Fury to do against the former UFC heavyweight champion in October. In comparison between the two boxers, Hearn wasn’t surprised to see Joshua produce a more definitive result. “(Fury) struggled against Otto Wallin. AJ destroyed him, it was a mismatch,” Hearn told MMA Junkie. “He struggled against Francis Ngannou.

Matchroom Boxing chairman Hearn, who has been the longtime promoter of Joshua, will be sitting on the edge of his seat when his fighter steps into the ring with former UFC champion Ngannou for a 10-round heavyweight bout on Friday at Kingdom Arena (pay-per-view). Although Hearn has met him multiple times before, he said he continues to be astounded by the sheer physical presence of Ngannou. And the proven strength he carries along with the confidence of fighting Tyson Fury to a split decision loss in his boxing debut in October, gives Hearn cause for concern. “Ngannou is huge,” Hearn told MMA Junkie following Wednesday’s pre-fight press conference. “I’m quite fascinated by the size of him

Ngannou (0-1) meets Joshua (27-3) in a heavyweight match March 8 in Saudi Arabia. Hearn, the chairman of Matchroom Boxing, admits he heavily underestimated Ngannou when he fought WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in October. But despite Ngannou  knocking Fury down in a close decision loss, Hearn still backs his fighter to get the finish. “Everyone’s going to play my previous clips that Francis Ngannou couldn’t win an English title before he fought Tyson Fury,” Hearn said on “The MMA Hour .” “I feel like he’s earned that shot or certainly to continue at that level

I know boxing like the back of my hand, and I’m watching that like [face in his hands], ‘This is so bad.’ The reason that Nate didn’t get stopped is that Jake didn’t have the ability.
