The two boxing titans, Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou, are the newest big action stars in town; they have released a Hollywood-style teaser for their forthcoming clash.

The lavish trailer for the fight on March 8 was made available by DAZN on Tuesday, and it could have easily been used as a teaser by any big motion picture studio.

Then, drawing inspiration from the iconic Street Fighter video series, the trailer shows the two fighting while switching between the real world and the virtual one.

AJ and Ngannou engage in a brutal sparring match that even sends one of them hurtling into space before colliding with Earth again.
