Joshua is billed to fight Ngannou on Friday, March 8 this year.<\/p>\n

Recall that Ngannou shocked the world when he dropped Fury in the third round last October. But he eventually lost the bout in a split decision.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of his bout with Ngannou, Joshua insisted that he is ready to fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel to myself I will always be here and ready to fight any time,\u201d the 34-year-old told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Ngannou] had a good outing as well against Tyson Fury who is the current WBC champion. So I think it will be good for me to see where I\u2019m at,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
