Anthony Joshua knocks out Francis Ngannou
When Ngannou defeated Tyson Fury over the course of November, he astonished the world with a tremendous performance. Against former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua, Ngannou was hoping for something similar.
Similar to his outstanding performance in his boxing debut versus Fury, the former UFC champion got off to a confident start but was immediately taken out by a powerful right from Joshua, who knocked him out in the first round.
In round two, Joshua smelled blood and sent Ngannou hurtling with another massive right before quickly ending the job with another lethal right.
Just before the same shot rocked Ngannou for the second time in the fight, Joshua dodged under a jab to find a place for another hard right.
The former UFC champion got back up and continued, but Joshua put an amazing finish to the fight by charging in and landing a right punch that knocked Ngannou unconscious.
After two straight losses, it was AJ's fourth consecutive victory, and it could lead to a future matchup with the victor of Oleksandr Usyk and Fury's unification fight in May.
Joshua is now expected to return against Filip Hrgovic for the chance to become a three-time heavyweight champion later this year.
