People in Francis Ngannou’s hometown in Cameroon, Batie, are confident their man can beat Anthony Joshua when the two fight in Saudi Arabia.

For MMA fighter Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, it is just a second professional boxing bout, following his controversial loss on points to Tyson Fury in October.

BBC Africa’s Paul Njie went to Batie to find out why residents of the town see Ngannou as being “like a king”.
