Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou apologized to his fans after losing to former WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Antoine Joshua in a boxing match.
The fight took place in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and ended with a victory for Joshua by knockout in the second round. In the first round, the Briton 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.
– Sorry guys, I let you all down. Today was a bad day, but tomorrow will be a new day. Thank you all for your love,” Ngannou wrote on social media.
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.
