      How heavyweights Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou compare on punch machine – and it’s bad news for Brits

      by

      FRANCIS NGANNOU is a harder hitter than Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury – if punch machine numbers are anything to go by. Ngannou had fans fearing for AJ ahead of their March 8 showdown in Saudi Arabia after effortlessly hitting the top score of 999. Fans feared for Anthony Joshua after his punch machine scoreCredit: Instagram / @ francisngannouJoshua clocked a score just under NgannouCredit: InstagramTyson Fury and AJ both used their weaker left handCredit: InstagramDAZN posted a video in 2023 which showed Joshua clocking 965 – but it was with his weaker left hand. And Fury also has a similar machine in his gym and once ranked a score of 993 – but he too refused to use his stronger right hook.The three efforts were compiled in a video by Boxing Science but fans were not convinced it proves anything. One said: “They should do it on the same punching machine to get a accurate result. READ MORE IN BOXING”All matches would be slightly different. All there readings were not that far apart.” Another added: “Unless they’re all calibrated perfectly, the number mean nothing. All different machines.

      John Fury in shock talks for fight with Misfits Boxing after being called out by Mike Tyson’s ex-sparring partner

      JOHN FURY is talking to Misfits Boxing over a shock fight – but no offer has yet been tabled. Fury is most recognised as the dad to superstar sons Tyson and Tommy. John Fury has been in talks with Misfits BoxingCredit: GettyBut he has become an outspoken figure in his own right and called out big names including Mike Tyson and Carl Froch. More recently, Tyson’s ex-sparring partner Joe Egan challenged Fury and claimed KSI’s Misfits promotion would front the cash for it. Promoter Kalle Sauerland is in contact with Fury but admitted no official offer has yet been made. Sauerland told Pro Boxing Fans: “We talk to John a lot.

      Meet Anthony Joshua’s 6ft 8in boxing prospect who has sparred Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder for Tyson Fury fights

      by

      EMANUEL ODIASE is Anthony Joshua’s 6ft 8in prospect garnering a reputation for being the perfect Tyson Fury replica. Odiase, an ex-amateur standout in Germany, has since relocated to Wolverhampton under the guidance of AJ’s 258 management stable. Anthony Joshua with heavyweight prospect Emanuel OdiaseCredit: @emaodiaseOleksandr Usyk has had Odiase in camp with him three timesCredit: @emaodiaseDeontay Wilder had Odiase in camp with him before fighting Tyson FuryCredit: @emaodiaseThe huge heavyweight prodigy is only 2-0 as a professional but he has already shared the ring with Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Oleksandr Usyk. He told SunSport: “It’s not bad! I was in the ring with Wilder when I was about 21, I was young. I had about 12 amateur fights. “No one can say they shared the ring with one of the biggest punchers in history with like 12 amateur fights. “I’ve been getting great experience from day one, to be honest. Now it’s about transferring everything I’ve learned in camps over to the pros.” READ MORE IN BOXINGHe was recruited by Wilder when he was still an amateur as the American prepared to rematch Fury, two years on from their 2018 draw. And in 2021, he first met Joshua who at the time was gearing up for a potential Gypsy King face-off. That Battle of Britain infamously fell through as Fury was contracted to a trilogy bout with Wilder, which he won in 11 rounds. But not only did it give Odiase the chance to share rounds with AJ, it also paved the way for the two to build a relationship. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSThat soon turned into a business opportunity when Odiase decided to turn over this year. He said: “We got along pretty well, stayed in touch and I sent him some of my amateur fights to get his feedback.  Fans fear Anthony Joshua will be ‘sleeping for a week’ after Francis Ngannou BREAKS scale on punch machine“And last year when I made the decision to turn pro, I said to him, ‘I’m ready to go pro now, what do you think about different managers?’ “I asked him about different people, Egis Klimas, Usyk’s manager as well and then he was like, ‘You want to speak to my manager.’ “And that’s when I said yeah and it all started from a message on WhatsApp, to be honest.” It was through his connection with Joshua and manager Freddie Cunningham that he then met his now-trainer Joby Clayton. And Odiase has set up camp in Wolverhampton and adopted the UK as the new home of his career. It was also through his boxing links – and more specifically heavyweight veteran Gerald Washington – that he was recruited by Usyk’s team. He has been in camp with Usyk three times, last March in Turkey for a would-be Fury fight, in Poland before the Daniel Dubois bout and more recently in Spain.

The title unification has since been postponed to May 18 – leaving the door open to Odiase to rejoin the sparring squad.He said: “As long as it suits my schedule because I need to stay building with my coach Joby Clayton over in Wolverhampton. “So that would be something I’d discuss with him, if he gives me the green light to go then I’d go because it’s great experience to spar a world champion of that calibre.” Odiase was introduced to British fans with a six-round points victory over Amine Boucetta, 31, in February. And he hopes it was the first of many in 2024. Odiase said: “My plan in my head is to get out at least six times this year. READ MORE SUN STORIES”I’ve done one, five to go, that would be the best case. If it’s more, then that’s great, if it’s less than that’s bad. “So we’re aiming for five more.

      Amir Khan backs Anthony Joshua to force Battle of Britain with Tyson Fury and reveals Francis Ngannou fight prediction

      by

      AMIR KHAN has backed Anthony Joshua to knock out Francis Ngannou and force Tyson Fury to the negotiation table. Joshua faces Ngannou on March 8 in Saudi Arabia in the same Riyadh venue where Fury was dropped by the MMA star in October.

      The Gypsy King needed a controversial points victory to escape with his unbeaten record and reputation barely intact.
      So if AJ can make mincemeat of Ngannou, it could rejuvenate demand for a Battle of Britain bout with Fury.
      Khan told SunSport: “If he gets the knock out or outboxes Ngannou and makes it look so easy, I think it will be a big statement in the world of boxing, especially the heavyweight division.
      “There’s still that talk that the Joshua and Fury fight should still happen so this is a good chance for Joshua to show how good he is.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Fury, 35, got off the floor in round three to escape with a disputed split-decision verdict in his favour.
      And he now faces Oleksandr Usyk, 37, on May 18 after a cut sustained in sparring forced him to postpone from February 17.
      Ngannou, 37, meanwhile turned his attention to Joshua, 34, after he was denied an immediate rematch with Fury.
      But AJ goes into the bout with ten rounds of valuable video evidence to study as Khan, 37, backed his fellow Brit to get the job done in style.
