Anthony Joshua’s brutal fight with Francis Ngannou.
Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua knocks out Francis Ngannou in the second round on Saturday, dominating his matchup with the ex-UFC heavyweight champ.
Joshua floored Ngannou in the first round and again in the second with right hands at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. He finished the fight with one punch immediately after the second 10-count, apparently knocking Ngannou out cold with an unblocked right hand.
- “I told him he shouldn’t leave boxing,” Joshua said. “He can do well. Remember, he’s two fights in, and he’s fought the best. He can go a long way if he stays dedicated, but it’s up to him.”
Born in Watford, Hertfordshire, heavyweight boxer Joshua spent his earliest years in Nigeria before returning to the UK aged twelve. He began boxing at the age of eighteen and was a novice when he won a silver medal at the 2011 World Championships and gold at the London 2012 Olympics.
