Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou faced former unified two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in a highly anticipated 10-round boxing bout. The clash ended with Joshua securing a dominant victory over Ngannou, culminating in a brutal knockout.
Ngannou, with a boxing record of 0-1, entered the ring after a narrow split decision loss to heavyweight lineal champion Tyson Fury in his boxing debut. Despite dropping Fury with a left hook in Round 3, Ngannou couldn’t secure the win.
Anthony Joshua, boasting a record of 27-3 with 24 knockouts, aimed to make a statement after recent setbacks. He started the bout with a quick and assertive jab, taking advantage of Ngannou’s relatively low guard.
The turning point came early in the fight when Joshua connected with a solid right, causing Ngannou to go down heavily. Despite narrowly beating the count, Ngannou struggled to recover as Joshua continued to dominate. A series of powerful right-hand punches from Joshua sent Ngannou to the canvas multiple times.
Even after Ngannou switched back to an orthodox stance, Joshua’s precision and power were relentless. The former UFC champion attempted to rally, but Joshua’s expertise made him appear outclassed. In a devastating sequence, Joshua delivered a third powerful right-hand punch that resulted in Ngannou going down heavily and remaining unconscious.
The ringside doctors rushed to Ngannou’s aid, providing oxygen after the sickening knockout blow from Joshua. The outcome solidified Joshua’s triumphant return to the boxing scene, showcasing his resilience and skill. As Ngannou receives medical attention, the boxing world reflects on an intense and unforgettable clash between two heavyweight titans.
