BOXING fans predicted a stunning end to Anthony Joshua’s fight with Francis Ngannou after watching the Street-Fighter themed promo video.
The humongous heavyweight pair are set to collide on March 8 in the next super-fight staged in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh has invested millions to bring the biggest stars over to the Middle East.
He is not only forking out huge sums to pay the fighters but also to ensure the production is on never-before-seen scales.
That has resulted in a series of amazing fight trailers and the latest is based on the Street-Fighter video game.
During the promo, Ngannou and Joshua clash in the streets of New York and cut to cartoon characters battling it out.
