Joshua supporters responded with their own chilling threat.
SHOCKED boxing fans declared there is no way Anthony Joshua can knock out Francis Ngannou – after the Cameroonian showed off his insane physique.
The former UFC heavyweight champ steps into the boxing ring for a second time next month when he takes on AJ in Saudi Arabia.
Francis Ngannou looks ripped and ready to face Anthony Joshua.
The 37-year-old shared a brilliant video from his gym.
After massively scaring Tyson Fury in October, he is confident of causing plenty of problems for Joshua.
And supporters are inclined to agree following the veteran’s latest Instagram post.
Hulking Ngannou, 37, shared a video to his 6.6million followers of his trainer repeatedly slamming a weighted wall ball against his set of rock-solid abs in the gym.
The fighter remains unmoved in his training shorts with a towel around his neck and headphones on.
Ngannou captioned the clip: “My face when they said that I don’t belong in boxing. Not born different, built different.”
And that prompted a wave of responses with his followers feeling ominous for Joshua’s chances on March 8.
One said: “AJ ain’t knocking that thing out I’m sorry.”
Another wrote: “Only way you are beating this man is on points.”
A third added: “AJ has a mega problem not solvable.”
A fourth typed: “AJ is in trouble.”
A fifth commented: “Legend says they had to add cement on the ball cause he was breaking them all.”
A sixth responded: “AJ better aim for the face or win on points.”
A seventh quipped: “Lmao couldn’t pay me to fight this man.”
An eighth claimed: “Francis is too strong for boxing.”
A ninth put: “Absolute beast.”
And a final user simply labelled him a “tank”.
However, AJ fans sent a similar chilling warning to Ngannou after he posted his own content from inside his training camp.
Supporters do not have to wait long before the first bell in two-and-a-half weeks’ time.
And they will have the choice to catch the blockbuster pay-per-view event on Sky Sports or DAZN.
Ngannou had Tyson Fury down on the canvas in their October bout.
The pair face off in Saudi Arabia on March 8
