Anthony AJ Joshua knockout Francis Ngannou , drop him 3 times

After shocking the world by knocking down Tyson Fury and losing a narrow split decision, Francis Ngannou looked to score his first professional boxing win when he took on Anthony Joshua on Friday in Saudi Arabia. Unlike the Fury fight, Ngannou found no success in the ring, suffering a knockout in the second round after a crushing right hand from the two-time former unified champ.

Ngannou came out light on his feet early, looking to throw left hooks and get inside Joshua's jab. Looking comfortable in just his second trip to the boxing ring, Ngannou suddenly switched southpaw. Moments later, Joshua feinted with a jab and Ngannou lowered his right hand to parry the strike that did not come, leaving him open to a right hand that sat him on the canvas for the first knockdown of the fight.

Ngannou managed to beat the referee's count and survive the opening round, but Joshua had laid the groundwork for what was to come. With Ngannou biting on nearly every Joshua feint, the end felt inevitable as the fighters walked to their corners.

In Round 2, Joshua again drove a right hand into Ngannou's head, dropping him for the second time in the fight. While Ngannou beat the count once again, he was unsteady on his feet and Joshua immediately took advantage, charging forward and landing a bomb of a right hand that sent Ngannou crashing to the canvas unconscious.
