Joshua, 34, faces off against Ngannou, 37, in Riyadh as he looks to move one step closer to a blockbuster clash with Fury.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou made his professional boxing debut just five months ago and nearly shocked the world when he dropped Fury in a fight that had been billed as a mismatch.

The MMA star went on to narrowly lose a split decision, but came out of the bout with tremendous credit.

Now Joshua is tasked with beating Ngannou in a more convincing manner as he eyes the winner of the undisputed clash between Fury and Usyk on May 18.

And AJ gave his prediction for Fury-Usyk earlier this week.

Speaking to iFL TV, he said: "I think Usyk will win."

When pressed on who he wants to have their hand raised, he added: "It's a great question. Probably Fury, logically, because it's a bigger fight.

"Well, that's if he fights me, he always says he doesn't want to fight. But it's a bigger fight for me down the line if he wins.

"That's the only reason I would say Fury, for my own benefit. Very selfish reasons."

Joshua's meeting with Fury comes just 24 hours after he met the WBC champion's dad, John Fury, embracing him in a classy moment.
