Ngannou, determined for another shot at Fury, has set a deadline of October this year for the rematch. He expressed his desire to be free to fight and not get caught up in the politics of boxing organizations.

Ngannou Focused on Joshua Fight Before Fury Rematch

Before Ngannou can think about a rematch with Fury, he first needs to face Anthony Joshua. Joshua, who has recently revived his career with wins over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin, will be a tough test for Ngannou. However, Ngannou is confident that he can halt Joshua's bid to become a three-time champion. He believes that if Joshua takes the punches that Fury took, he won't be able to get back up. Ngannou is so confident in his abilities that he is already thinking about a historic showdown with Joshua in Africa.
