Boxing: Anthony Joshua delivers crushing round 2 knockout to Francis Ngannou

Anthony Joshua, on Friday night landed a stunning right hand shot on Francis Ngannou’s chin in round 2, resulting in a spectacular knockout of the former UFC heavyweight champion rendering him unconscious.

After Ngannou came to, ringside officials administered oxygen to the 37-year-old, who was boxing for just the second time.

Joshua floored Ngannou in the opening round with a right hand, and when he beat the count, he appeared to be unsteady.

The former boxing heavyweight champion produced another knockdown in Round 2, an equilibrium shot that connected on Ngannou’s left ear.

Moments after Ngannou rose from the second knockdown, Joshua planted him on the canvas for good with a perfectly placed straight right that landed flush.

Ngannou’s leg bent awkwardly under him as all 272 ½ pounds of the MMA fighter fell to the canvas in a heap.
