Anthony Joshua will beat Fury, Ngannou – Malik Scott

Malik Scott, the trainer of America’s Deontay Wilder believes British boxer, Anthony Joshua will beat both Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou if he faces either of them in a boxing ring.

Scott shared his thoughts following Fury’s recent match with Ngannou in Saudi Arabia where he emerged winner despite being knocked down.

Cameroon’s Ngannou lost through split decision and many boxing fans around the world are not satisfied with the result.

Following his impressive performance, other top contenders are lining up to face Ngannou, including former two-time WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Joshua.

Scott told ESNews that if Joshua faces a Fury similar to the one that fought Ngannou in a bout, the British-Nigerian will win the fight.

He said; “Anthony Joshua against Fury? That Fury, he’ll beat, and I believe (Joshua will) beat Ngannou.

“There is only one man who knocks him out cold, and I think we know who that is, Deontay Wilder.”

Joshua has been heavily linked with a fight against hard-hitting American Wilder, with his promoter Eddie Hearn previously saying they had agreed everything but that fight fell through and no contracts were ever signed between the two parties.
