Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh has invested millions to bring the biggest stars over to the Middle East.

He is not only forking out huge sums to pay the fighters but also to ensure the production is on never-before-seen scales.

That has resulted in a series of amazing fight trailers and the latest is based on the Street-Fighter video game.

During the promo, Ngannou and Joshua clash in the streets of New York and cut to cartoon characters battling it out.

Their epic tussle takes the pair across the globe and culminates in the ring where they both land simultaneous knockouts.

So fans are convinced the real bout will end in similar way as one said: “That’s how you do a creative promo trailer. Predicting a double knockout?”

Another added: “Why are they both happy to act like they are getting knocked out?”

Ngannou, 37, put his MMA career on hold last year to make a move to boxing and faced Tyson Fury, 35, in his debut bout.

He astonishingly scored a knockdown but lost a controversial split-decision, with Fury moving on to fight Oleksandr Usyk, 37.

The undisputed title bout has been rescheduled to May 18 after Fury suffered a cut in sparring.

And promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed the Saudis are lining up Joshua or Ngannou to fight the winner for the undisputed crown.

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-Usyk, and he’s going to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion.”
