Video: How much pressure is on Francis Ngannou heading into Anthony Joshua fight?

By his own admission, Francis Ngannou’s immediate future will be decided by the result of Friday’s showdown with Anthony Joshua.

If Ngannou wins, in all likelihood he’ll be competing next for a heavyweight boxing championship. If the former UFC champ loses, it gets complicated. If he loses close, as he did to Tyson Fury, does he still find another big boxing match after this? If he loses lopsided, is it straight to the PFL and MMA?

All these scenarios beg the question: How much pressure is on Ngannou heading into his fight with Joshua? Our “Spinning Back Clique” of Farah Hannoun, Simon Samano and Brian “Goze” Garcia answer that with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.

You can watch their discussion in the video above and check out this week’s full episode on YouTube below.
