Joshua held a bizarre open workout in front of fans ahead of his fight against Ngannou on Friday and he was told by Zhilei Zhang to "kill" the former UFC champion in the ringAnthony Joshua has been told by heavyweight rival Zhilei Zhang to "kill" Francis Ngannou in their fight. Former two-time unified heavyweight world champion Joshua is in the last stages of preparing for his fight against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou on Friday in Saudi Arabia. Just moments after Joshua exited the ring, footage captured by MMA Junkie shows Zhang fist-bumping the Brit while telling him to "kill" Ngannou. Ngannou vacated his UFC heavyweight world title last January and parted ways with the promotion to pursue a boxing career. The 37-year-old controversially lost his ring debut against Fury by a single point last October despite putting the heavyweight champion down in the fight.
