Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou set for March 8

In October of last year, Ngannou made his boxing debut against Tyson Fury in an event organized by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) in Saudi Arabia.
The WBC heavyweight world champion was floored by the MMA star in round three, shocking the entire world and only losing by a razor-thin split decision.
AJ had previously given Deontay Wilder priority over the prospect of a "gimmick" fight with Ngannou.
Ngannou's performance against Fury did, however, pave the way for Joshua to become a member of the Saudi party.

After being completely floored, the Gypsy King had to reschedule his scheduled, undisputed matchup with Oleksandr Usyk for February 17.
Consequently, on December 23, both AJ and Wilder signed to box after receiving a call from the GEA.
These intentions were derailed when Joshua defeated Otto Wallin and Wilder fell to Joseph Parker.
