After the promo for Tyson Fury’s fight with Ngannou quickly surpassed 100 million views and was branded ‘the best ever’, fans have been eager to see how His Excellency Turki Alalshikh would promote ‘Knockout Chaos’.

The trailer for Joshua’s fight with ‘The Predator’ was released on Tuesday and it didn’t disappoint.

It is based on the Street Fighter video game and shows the two heavyweight superstars clashing on the streets of New York and various other locations.

The video cuts back and forth between real-life and cartoon characters before Joshua and Ngannou finally come together in the ring where they land simultaneous knockout blows.

Boxing fans took to social media in their droves to praise the trailer and comment on the fact that it finishes by predicting the fight will end in a double knockout.

One person wrote: “That’s how you do a creative promo trailer.”

Someone else said: “Getting a movie-level trailer for each big boxing show in Saudi is always epic af.”

A third person commented: “Now that’s how to advertise a big fight. The Fury vs Ngannou one was also class.”

Another said: “This is actually pretty sick.”

One fan asked: “Has a double KO ever happened before in the history of boxing?”

An even bigger fight awaits Joshua or Ngannou, according to boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who believes the winner will challenge for all the heavyweight world titles.

Oleksandr Usyk and Fury will clash in a historic undisputed bout on May 18, and the Matchroom Sports chairman recently suggested the plan is to match whoever emerges victoriously with AJ or Ngannou.

Hearn said on The MMA Hour: “His Excellency said the winner of this fight faces the winner of Fury-Usyk.

“That is a dream chance for us because we chased that for so long.

“AJ is going to beat Francis Ngannou, and then he’s going to beat the winner of Fury vs Usyk, and he’s going to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion.”

You can only imagine how epic the trailer for that fight would be.
