Watch Video: Anthony Joshua Defeats Francis Ngannou In Second Round [Photos]

Two-time world champion Anthony Joshua knocked out mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou in just the second round of their heavyweight clash in the early hours of Saturday.

Joshua had his Cameroonian opponent on the canvas in the first round and twice more in the second in a brutal and brief exhibition of punching power.

In just the second round of their heavyweight match in Riyadh, Anthony Joshua defeated Francis Ngannou with a remarkable and forceful performance.

When Ngannou defeated Tyson Fury over the course of November, he astonished the world with a tremendous performance. Against former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua, Ngannou was hoping for something similar.

Just before the same shot rocked Ngannou for the second time in the fight, Joshua dodged under a jab to find a place for another hard right.

The former UFC champion got back up and continued.

After two straight losses, it was AJ’s fourth consecutive victory, and it could lead to a future matchup with the victor of Oleksandr Usyk and Fury’s unification fight in May.

Joshua is now expected to return against Filip Hrgovic for the chance to become a three-time heavyweight champion later this year.
