Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in a duel with the former world champion according to WBA, WBO and IBF Antoine Joshua demonstrated that boxing is not entertainment for the rich, but hard work where you have to think with your head, the Russian boxer told Dmitry Kudryashov .
The boxing match took place in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and ended with a knockout in the second round. In the first round, Joshua knocked down Ngannou with a right hand to the jaw, but the Cameroonian came to his senses and continued the fight. In the second round, Ngannou was knocked down again, after which Joshua delivered a decisive attack and eliminated his opponent.
– Ngannou is great. He clearly showed that boxing is not entertainment for rich people, but hard work where you have to think with your head, which now hurts,” Kudryashov told .
For Ngannou, this was the second fight in professional boxing after his debut on October 28 last year in a fight with Tyson Fury. From 2015 to 2022, Ngannou competed in the UFC and won the heavyweight championship belt. Joshua’s statistics in professional boxing before the fight with Ngannou were 27 wins, 3 losses.
