Joshua made his feelings clear on Ngannou.
Anthony Joshua made his feelings clear on Francis Ngannou after knocking him out inside two rounds in Saudi Arabia.
The Englishman knocked his opponent down on three separate occasions in the hotly-anticipated fight, with the third knockdown proving to be too much for, who was tipped as heavy favourite for the contest but still expected to face stiff opposition in the form of a former UFC champion.But a bright opening 30 seconds of round one was followed by Joshua quickly taking control, and the two-time heavyweight champion knocked Ngannou down to the canvas before the first bell rung.
There was momentary worry about Ngannou's condition after the knockout, as he required oxygen and attention from medical staff, but was able to rise to his feet to hear the final result.He began by saying: "You're an inspiration. You'd beat a lot of people. Don't leave boxing - don't leave."If you need anything, let me know. We'll speak another time. I'd love to support your foundation. We'll speak another time.
