Ngannou, age 37, (17-3-0, 12KOs) is an MMA fighter from Cameroon. He's just off from stunning Tyson Fury in a close loss on his professional boxing debut last year, and he hopes to do it again against Joshua. This is his second professional boxing fight.
After losing his belts to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and losing in a rematch a year later, Joshua (27-3, 24KOs) bounced back with three straight wins. Joshua, 34, has aspirations of winning the world title a third time after his most recent win, a commanding stoppage victory over Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia in December last year.
Here's an early head-to-toe breakdown by Bleacher Report.

@ice 100% probability has to be assigned at resolution, so I guess he will N/A in that case. Or he might assign 50% to both.
@ice I should have made the resolution criteria clear in the description, or even made the market a simple Yes/No perhaps. In case of a draw, I’ll resolve both as N/A
Sports websites that I checked (Bet365 and BetUS) giving around 1:4 betting odds (25% chance) to Ngannou. Francis is great, he has a strong chin and punches really strong, but there's a good chance than Tyson Fury had been underestimating him significantly and was out of shape. Things are probably going to be different with Anthony Joshua.
@jBosc you’re right, AJ is still one of the best boxers of this generation. To me 1:4 is an accurate reflection of Francis’s puncher’s chance. When AJ fought someone who hits nearly as hard Francis (Andy Ruiz Jr) he got KO’d, and chins do get weaker with age. We’re in for a treat.
