Anthony Joshua scored one of his easiest and most decisive victories in the boxing ring after knocking out Francis Ngannou in two rounds. The Cameroonian offered no resistance to the British boxer at a gala night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

AJ knocked the former UFC heavyweight champion down in the first round, then again in the second, before knocking him out. It was Ngannou’s second loss in two fights in professional boxing, while Joshua showed he is still at the top of the heavyweight division. However, one should not overlook the fact that this meeting for the British athlete was against an opponent whose boxing career is all too simple.

The hope among his entourage and AJ fans is that the Watford-born boxer will regain his heavyweight belt, but before that he has to wait for a fight in May between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. The whole world trembles in anticipation of whether Joshua will ever step into the ring against his compatriot Fury.

The gypsy king took center stage next to the ring in Riyadh, with football legends Jose Mourinho and Ronaldo among the official guests. The Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, also enjoyed the fight between the two a few meters from the ring.

Second round

Joshua landed a hard right to Ngannou’s face in the second round as well, and the Cameroonian tried to clinch. AJ landed a third right-left combination and sent the Cameroonian into a second knockdown. And seconds later, Joshua knocked out his opponent.
