The former UFC star was quick to react to the breaking news.

The boxing world was rocked for all the wrong reasons on Friday when it was announced that the February 17 fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk would be postponed. 

The pair were set to finally meet for the undisputed world heavyweight championship, but a deep cut suffered above Fury's right eye in sparring means the WBC champion will not be able to compete for a number of months. 

While Usyk's next move is unknown, Francis Ngannou, a former opponent of Fury's, has weighed in on the news with a photoshop of the popular Kevin James meme picture.

"So me and Joshua for the undisputed title March 8?" Ngannou wrote on X.

Despite losing to Fury on his professional boxing debut, the former UFC heavyweight champion is set for another big fight when he takes on two-time world heavyweight champion on March 8 in Saudi Arabia. 

If Fury vs. Usyk was not postponed, there were plans in place for the winner of Ngannou's clash with Joshua to face the newly crowned undisputed heavyweight champion.
