Anthony Joshua is determined to secure a knockout win over Francis Ngannou in their upcoming super-fight in Saudi Arabia, on Friday.

Joshua, who is currently on a three-fight winning streak, expressed his eagerness to “make a statement” in the non-title contest against Ngannou.

“I believe I can knock him out. Definitely. I would love to knock him out and make a statement,” said Joshua.

“Physically I feel strong, feeling good. Strong enough to get the job done and mentally I’m in a place where I’m ready for war. I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
