The highly anticipated heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou is a mere ten days away, and the official promo video has already arrived, raising eyebrows with a surprise twist. The event which has been termed “Knockout Chaos” is set to take place on March 8th. Once again, Saudi Arabia has surpassed all expectations when it comes to fight promotions.

Joshua is looking to prove his mettle as a former two-time world champion, who has victories over legends like Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin. Ngannou, on the other hand, is looking to achieve his first victory in the sport, after he suffered a controversial loss to Tyson Fury last year. Interestingly, the promo clip for the fight between the two has already won the hearts of boxing enthusiasts all over the world.

Is that an old lady whacking Ngannou and AJ with a broom?

Recently, the official promo video for the Saudi Arabia bout surfaced on social media. The promo video, released by the advisor to the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia, Turki Al-Alshikh, takes inspiration from the popular game Street Fighter, showcasing intense action between the two fighters in various settings.

The video showed both fighters going at one another. It even included a hilarious situation where both heavyweight behemoths got beaten by an old lady with a broom after Joshua crashed through her shop. Towards the end, both boxers threw punches at one another but they landed at the same time resulting in a double knockout. While undoubtedly dramatic, it’s an ending neither fighter will be hoping for come fight night. So what do the fans think about the video? Let’s find out.
