Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - Former world title challenger names the fighter he thinks could go asleep for two days

Carlos Takam has sent a stern warning to Anthony Joshua as he gets ready to step into the ring with Francis Ngannou.  

The Frenchman challenged Joshua for his world titles during his first reign back in 2017 but he was stopped late on despite putting in a very spirited effort. 

Although he’s very much aware of the threat possessed by Joshua, Takam has also pointed out weaknesses he believes Ngannou can exploit.  

Takam is mightily impressed with the former UFC star’s punching power, and he thinks it could be disastrous for Joshua if Ngannou manages to land on him. 

“AJ's chin is a big danger for him. If Francis touches his chin, AJ is going to sleep for two days,” said Takam when speaking to Lucky Block. 

“AJ is definitely going to sleep for two days because of Francis's power. His power comes from our country, our village, our ancestors. It's Bamileke power and you cannot play with that power.  

“In the stories, the Bamileke people were fighters and warriors, and Francis has that warrior heritage. I'm sure 100 per cent AJ will sleep for two days if Francis touches him.”
