Anthony Joshua knocked out Francis Ngannou in the second round in Riyadh, March 9, 2024. Former UFC heavyweight champion was only competing in second boxing fight of his career.
Cameroonian, a ring novice, was unable to do anything against a brutal and surgical Joshua. Joshua declared his intention to face for his next fight the winner of the clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksander Usyk who face each other in May for the unified heavyweight title. The 37-year-old has already planned to return to the MMA cages in 2024 against PFL champion Renan Ferreira.
