Francis Ngannou Is Exposing His Inexperience As A Boxer With His Excuses – Hearn

Cameroonian mixed martial arts fighter, Francis Ngannou has been slammed for appearing to suggest that his defeat by Anthony Joshua was down to his early arrival at the arena.

Joshua’s promoter, Hearn recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it was quite disappointing to hear Francis say that, because only an inexperienced boxer will say he was made to come to the arena early to tire him out for the fight.

Hearn added that every boxer decides his time to arrive before a bout, and those who do not come early do so to not lurk around until the bell sounds.

His words, “I was baffled. It is a bit disappointing really.

He said they got him to the arena (early), who is they? You get given times by the broadcaster.

He said that he was made to come to the arena early to tire him out for the fight, which is really an inexperienced boxing guy talking here, he should know better.

You get your time, which is the ideal time that the organiser or the broadcaster would like you there, you make your own mind up.

Some fighters like to get there three hours before, some like to get there an hour before, it all depends on the fighter.

If AJ is told for example that “we want you there at 10 ‘o’clock” and we know that the fight is happening at 1am, then we would come a little bit later because he doesn’t want to be hanging around that long.”

WOW.
