Anthony Joshua secured a decisive victory over Francis Ngannou, knocking him down three times within two rounds, including a powerful right hand that left Ngannou on the canvas. Joshua, a former 2-time heavyweight champion, displayed sharp skills from the beginning of the bout. Despite Ngannou's resilience in returning to his feet after the first knockdown, Joshua's devastating right in the second round prompted the referee to stop the fight immediately.
Ngannou received medical attention but eventually stood up, and both fighters showcased sportsmanship. Joshua now awaits the winner of the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk bout, while Ngannou's future plans, whether in boxing or MMA, remain unclear. Promoter Eddie Hearn praised Joshua's knockout as one of the "most destructive" he had ever seen.
