In anticipation of his upcoming bout against Anthony Joshua on March 8 in Saudi Arabia, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has sent a formidable message, showcasing his formidable punching prowess. Ngannou, who previously showcased his impressive skills in a bout against Tyson Fury, is set for his second professional boxing match.
Joshua, aiming to secure his status as a three-time heavyweight world title holder, hopes to defeat Ngannou and set the stage for a unification fight against the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury matchup.
Ngannou, celebrated for his devastating knockout power, holds the world record for the hardest punch, measuring an astonishing 129,161 units. To reaffirm his prowess, the 37-year-old recently shared a video demonstrating his incredible power on a punch machine in a gym.
In the video, Ngannou maintains a stationary stance with both feet before executing a short-distance wind-up, delivering a colossal right-hand strike that resonates throughout the gym, visibly rattling the punch machine.
