Anthony Joshua knocked Francis Ngannou out chilly to line up a possible heavyweight conflict towards both Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk.
AJ delivered a masterclass in Saudi Arabia, dropping the previous UFC champion twice earlier than ending the job with an enormous proper hand within the second spherical. Ngannou was left flat on his again and needing medical consideration as docs rushed to offer him oxygen.
The Brit began off the battle in emphatic style, doing what Tyson Fury couldn’t by dropping boxing newcomer Ngannou contained in the opening spherical with a clear jab on the button.
Ngannou appeared shell-shocked because the battle entered the second, and AJ rolled again the years by capitalising with two haymakers. The 37-year-old Cameroonian staggered again to his ft after the primary hook.
