Just like Mayweather vs McGregor, another UFC star wants to fight Joshua

Francis Ngannou wants a boxing match with either Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury boxing before he retires from combat sports.

The UFC number two heavyweight contender is the most powerful Mixed Martial Artist (MMA).

And he hopes to fight Joshua and Fury who are two of the biggest boxers in the heavyweight division at their prime.

Ngannou believes he has all it takes to match the duo with the Cameroon-French star eager to try his hand at boxing before calling it quits.

"I want to cross over," Ngannou told bjpenn.com.

"I want to make a statement in the boxing world because that was my first love, that was my first dream. Before MMA came around, I was all about boxing.

"At some point in my life I have to do whatever I like, whatever I love to do, to check all those boxes in my life timeline to do things."

"Honestly I think, obviously with good preparation I can match up with any of those guys.

"But once again, I'm not just going there for one shot, so I'm probably going to have multiple fights that will give me more opportunity to match up with many of those guys, if it's not all of them. I'm really willing to do that."
