It took just two rounds for Anthony Joshua to secure a decisive victory over Francis Ngannou in a thrilling showdown dubbed ‘Knockout Chaos’ in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
From the opening bell, Joshua showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of punches that quickly sent Ngannou crashing to the canvas with a powerful right hook just one minute into the first round.
Despite a valiant effort to regain his composure, Ngannou found himself on the receiving end of Joshua’s relentless assault as the round came to a close.
In the second round, Joshua wasted no time in finishing the job, delivering a devastating blow that left Ngannou unable to continue, securing one of the most destructive knockouts of his career.
Many were stunned by Ngannou’s approach to the fight, with some attributing his downfall to habits carried over from his MMA background.
However, it was Joshua’s calculated aggression and newfound determination that ultimately sealed the victory.
According to reports, Joshua’s recent change in coaching and training regimen has transformed his fighting style, allowing him to dictate the tempo of the match and capitalize on his opponent’s weaknesses.
With victories over Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin under his belt, Joshua’s path to another world title opportunity seems clearer than ever.
Many speculate that he could be next in line to face the winner of the upcoming clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
