Joshua Triumphs: Ngannou faces second boxing defeat in Riyadh showdown

In a dramatic showdown in Riyadh, MMA star Francis Ngannou suffered a resounding knockout in his second boxing match against former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Joshua’s dominant performance, securing a knockout in the second round, marked Ngannou’s second defeat.

Despite surprising Tyson Fury in a previous bout, Ngannou couldn’t withstand Joshua’s powerful blows.

In contrast to his earlier success, Ngannou’s latest defeat raises questions about his transition to boxing.

Meanwhile, Joshua eyes a potential matchup with the winner of the upcoming Tyson Fury vs. Oleksander Usyk clash for the unified heavyweight title.

Ngannou’s next challenge awaits in the MMA cage against PFL champion Renan Ferreira.
