Experts, fighters and pundits have their say ahead of Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou's high-stakes heavyweight clash in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua and Ngannou meet on Friday - live on Sky Sports Box Office - with a potential shot at the winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed world heavyweight championship on the line.
George Groves (former super middleweight world champion)
"This fight has grown on me since it's been made, I've done my investigations into Ngannou and I don't think anybody is underestimating him this time around. I'm not a huge MMA/UFC fan but I've gathered he's more a boxer than UFC fighter anyway. He can punch hard, apparently he's the hardest punching person on the planet.
"The pressure is on for AJ because he's fighting an newbie boxer with a record of 0-1. He should have the class to go in there and box rings around Ngannou, but anything can happen. Ngannou might be twice as good this time because he's had a double camp.
"There are unknowns for Joshua, the pressure is on him because he is the guy with the pedigree and he's got to win. Ngannou is in that vibe where he's talking about wanting to drag these guys into his domain. Whether it's a tactic to undermine Joshua and say he's the stronger, tougher, braver man or alleviate pressure, it might work or it might not.
"Ngannou proved a lot of people wrong, a lot of doubters wrong. He's sort of got nothing to lose.
"Anthony Joshua will win, I think he might stop Ngannou."
Anthony Crolla (former lightweight world champion)
"Myself, like many others, got it badly wrong last time. So many people wrote Ngannou off, he was trolled online over pad work and he was so much better than everybody thought. That uncertainty is gone and as a boxing fan it's making you look forward to it even more. He pushed Tyson Fury so close, people thought he might have even won it. I think Joshua has got a little bit more to watch, they would have studied him.
Dan Hardy (former UFC fighter)
"I think this is a much better fight for Francis Ngannou. Tyson Fury is tricky, he's got good head movement, he's smart, he's wily, he's got great footwork.
"AJ is a great boxer, very technically sound, but he doesn't move like Fury, he's going to be more hittable for Ngannou. Ngannou has now also got 10 rounds of confidence because he knows he can fight for 10 rounds in a boxing ring, and that to him was a mystery in his first fight.
Sean O'Malley (UFC bantamweight champion)
"I think Francis can definitely beat Anthony Joshua.
"His neck, his chin, he's going to be hard to knock out and scary to sit in the pocket and trade with because he has insane power.
"I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the win."
Dewey Cooper (Francis Ngannou's trainer)
"Our goal is domination, we've got to defend that right hand he likes to set up and be attentive to the jab.
"I truly believe Francis can beat him outside and inside. My prediction? I said it at the press conference: the ferocious, furious, flaming, feisty fists of Francis Ngannou will finish Anthony Joshua."
