Boxer Anthony Joshua mulls MMA fights with Ngannou, Jones

[MovinOn]

For those who don't follow boxing, Joshua is an English HW with a 20-0 record. He beat Wladimir Klitschko. He has a fight coming up at the end of the month against 24-0 Joseph Parker from New Zealand. Joshua is favored. Then there's talk of a unification fight with American champ Deontay Wilder.

But there's always speculation about crossing over into MMA these days. Here's what Joshua had to say about that:

“I feel like a good scrap would be, I think the guy from Congo [referring to Ngannou, who is actually from Cameroon], I think he just lost recently. Big unit, that’d be a good scrap. Then you’ve got Jon Jones, that’d be a good scrap.

”Yeah. I’d have to obviously have a couple of warm-up fights because you have to learn the submissions and stuff. But a fight’s a fight at the end of the day. Yeah man, I’d do it.” (Transcription by Sport Bible)

Where is the money going to come from for boxers who make $10 million or more per fight to move into MMA? They're going to have to expect a decrease in pay.

Lol Ngannou by kimura, Jon Jones by anything he wants

But warm-up fights is a great attitude to have instead of just crazy callouts

Formatted perfectly. Makes it easy to promote to the News page, thanks.

 

[Wild]

Jones would take him down and maul him to death.

 

[ECC170]

Be careful what you wish for joshy

 

[TheEmperorRises]

Never happening. That's just the only answer to give, in that situation. What is he supposed to say "Oh no, those guys would kick my ass!"

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

He'd kill Ngannou, but Jones would man-rape him.

He pissed me off last week saying wilder can't come in the ring after the Parker fight unless the contract is signed, but Joshua won't offer or accept a fair payout
Wilder has already dropped from 50/50 to 60/40 in Joshua favor

Joshua be scared

 

[Mix6APlix]

Lol. Let's get him v. Pbf.

nah he's on bosses orders. eddie hearn is saying that was his call.

 

[Gay For Longo]

Anthony is the one who said he shouldn't get in the ring unless the contract is signed
I should have included eddie thpugh, he does control the money side for Joshua

Eddie won't accept a fair deal, he needs to milk this for every penny he can because he knows if they fight, Anthony is taking a nap

Wilder alsk has the best win on his resume out of the two imo

AJ wouldn't care. he wouldn't even think to give a fuck, surely. this decision has weasel written on it.

Ya I am a fan of AJ, that just pissed me off this week cause that fucking fight needs to happen and it just sounded horrible hearing one of them saying they don't want a face off When it's their side holding shit up

I do honestly pick wilder in that fight but I'm being stupid saying Anthony is scared

It is on Eddie
Eddie won't even throw out a number he will agree to
Aj is obviously the a side because he's more established but I can't see wilder accepting anything less than 35%

 

[aghof]

give him the winner of CM Punk and Michael Jackson or whatever that guy's name is

 

[Rambo John J]

Jones on or off of steroids?

Joshua?

Vlad is the best win for either, & Joshua would smoke Wilder

 

[Gay For Longo]

Wlad was a shell of himself when they fought
Ortiz is the best win

Joshua might not even get through this month as champ

It would be awesome imo just to see the look on herns face

If it ever goes down I'll do 20bux straight up bet over PayPal

Wlad looked pretty good to me, the Fury fight he had a lot of shit he was going through. The Wlad that AJ beat would beat the shit out of Ortiz, he'd probably beat the shit out of Wilder, too.

You're on

exactly what he should say under mma rule set lol. But I get the point. They don't want no smoke boxing either.

 

[SAJ]

Be careful what you wish for joshy

Even after 6 months of sprawl training?

 

[delightone]

Jones would take him down and maul him to death.

I don't think he even has to take him down, just clinch up against the cage and wrap up that neck like he did with Machida, standing guillotine for the win.

On second thought the saver way is the takedown, you better believe joshua could get him with one punch with big or small gloves.

 

[ECC170]

Even after 6 months of sprawl training?

If it were only that easy.

 

[Jesus X]

Ngannou would look like Randy Couture vs Joshua unless he was dumb enough to stand with Joshua but even then the 4oz gloves give ngannou a chance to KO joshua with one punch.

 

[1372]

Joshua is a boxer...He should keep it that way and not bite off more than he can chew.

Although @Gay for Longo

I'll put 100 on that if Joshua v Wilder happens Joshua knocks him out.
