Boxing fans all have same complaint ahead of Joshua vs Ngannou
Fans on social media are all saying the same thing in the build-up to the main event of Knockout Chaos.
Every boxing fan has tuned in tonight (8 March) to watch the long-awaited fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou, but it looks like they have been left frustrated on social media.
The event is taking place in Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia tonight, and has consisted of several undercard bouts before the main event.

But it looks like the number of fights going the distance coupled with the waiting time between fights is getting to fans and running their patience thin.
Fans took to X to share their thoughts with one fan saying: "Just get the fight on already"
Another said: "The #JoshuaNgannou fight started 7 hours ago and the co-main event is yet to begin"
A third posted: "Are they fighting tonight at all or?"
Another echoed these thoughts, saying: "7 hours in and we're not at the main event yet..."
The ring-walks for the main event were meant to commence at 10:50 pm GMT but at the time of writing, Zhang and Parker are still going head-to-head.
Yesterday, Joshua weighed in at 252.4 lbs (114 kg) against his heavier Cameroonian counterpart, who came in at 272.6 lbs (124 kg) at their Friday weigh-in.
It means that the 34-year-old Joshua is over half a kilogram heavier than he was in his previous bout against Otto Wallin in December 2023.
During their Wednesday pre-fight press conference, there was a war of words between the two, with the winner of the bout expected to face either Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk.
