Move over Tom Cruise, because the latest action stars to hit the scene are none other than heavyweight boxing champions Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou.
DAZN has just unveiled a Hollywood-style trailer for their upcoming clash on March 8, and it's nothing short of a blockbuster.
Titled "Knockout Chaos," the high-budget promo dropped on Tuesday, promising a showdown that could easily rival any major entertainment studio production. The trailer kicks off with Ngannou getting the news that his match with AJ is a go, confidently declaring his readiness to face Joshua "anytime, anywhere."

In a twist of fate, the two fighters cross paths on the street shortly after, setting the stage for an impromptu showdown that draws a crowd eager for action. The trailer takes inspiration from the iconic "Street Fighter" series, seamlessly blending the real world with the realm of video games.
The cinematic experience unfolds as AJ and Ngannou exchange powerful blows, transcending the boundaries of reality as they are knocked into outer space before crashing back down to earth. The trailer culminates with both fighters knocking each other out in the ring, bringing an end to the thrilling madness after more than a minute of intense violence.
While the Hollywood-style trailer sets a high bar for entertainment, the real-life clash is scheduled to take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
If the actual fight is anything like the trailer, fans can expect a super entertaining spectacle as these two heavyweight titans collide in the boxing ring on March 8.
