Francis Ngannou prioritizes self-improvement over opponent analysis before Anthony Joshua fight
Francis Ngannou, preparing for his boxing exhibition against Anthony Joshua, has shed light on his unique approach to fight preparation. In a recent interview, Ngannou emphasized self-improvement over an in-depth analysis of his opponents' physical strengths.
In a recent interview, Ngannou talked about his concerns over facing an opponent who is equally gifted in terms of physical abilities:
"I [don't] focus on what my opponents are physically capable of, I focus on myself. It is the only thing that I can control. I can control my strength, my energy, and everything... I can't control what would I change? Nothing. I control myself and that's the most important."
With his methodical mindset, Ngannou appears unfazed by the prospect of encountering an opponent as physically gifted as himself.
