Tom Aspinall has joked that he might 'quit UFC' after learning learning of Francis Ngannou's incredible punching power, as the interim heavyweight champion delivers a word of caution to Anthony Joshua 

Ngannou is widely regarded as one of the hardest hitters in professional fighting, with the 37-year-old having startled WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury during their bout back in October, sending the Gypsy King to the canvas in the third round despite eventually suffering defeat. 

The former UFC heavyweight champion will step back into the ring on Friday night for his second professional fight in what is gearing up to be a seismic clash against Joshua, who will need to be weary of Ngannou's power. 

The Cameroonian's punches were once described as equivalent to 'being hit by a Ford Escort' by UFC president Dana White and it appears Aspinall has also been left shocked by Ngannou's raw strength.

In a video published on social media, Aspinall can be seen attempting to surpass Ngannou's world record score of 129,161 on a PowerKube punching machine - which measures the force generated in a punch by speed and accuracy.
