Anthony Joshua knocked Francis Ngannou down cold in the second round of their battle. Following his devastating knockout defeat to Anthony Joshua last week, Francis Ngannou, shown in a composite picture of a guy coughing and suffering from TB, has stated that he still plans to undertake additional "medical work" to assess his health. Joshua faced a lot of criticism for facing Ngannou, who shocked the heavyweight class with his boxing debut against Tyson Fury in October of last year, as a risky opponent. But with his knockout victory against Ngannou, Joshua delivered maybe his most commanding and potent performance in recent memory, sending a message to the whole division.
The two-time heavyweight champion took command from the first bell and easily dispatched Ngannou in the first and first part of the second. The former UFC champion was visibly shocked as he stood up for the second time and never fully recovered. Joshua's massive right hand sent Ngannou flying to the canvas, but the 37-year-old showed no mercy and was immediately attended to by medical professionals.
