Francis Ngannou’s coach is confident that he can ‘shock the world again’ by knocking out Anthony Joshua.
The former UFC star faces Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia tomorrow, having nearly pulled off an upset victory in his last fight against unbeaten world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury back in October.
Ngannou knocked the Gypsy King down to the canvas during the bout, which he lost via a controversial split decision outcome
His coach Dewey Cooper is predicting a knockout win for Ngannou, and questioned whether Joshua can get back to his feet like the Gypsy King did.
Speaking on the MMA Hour podcast, Cooper said: ‘Tyson Fury may go down, but he gets up. He’s been dropped in numerous fights, even multiple times, but he gets up and he still fights. We can’t say the same for Joshua.’
