Following Anthony Joshua’s vicious second-round knockout of Cameroonian boxer Francis Ngannou, Ngannou issued an apology to his supporters at the weekend.
In the main event of the “Knockout Chaos” card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Joshua defeated Ngannou via second-round knockout to win his fourth fight in a row.
“Sorry guys, I let you all down. Although it wasn’t the best day at work today, tomorrow will be better. I’m grateful for everyone’s love,” Ngannou said to his supporters after the fight.
Joshua has now defeated Wallin and Ngannou, two fighters that challenged Tyson Fury to a duel via knockout.
After shocking supporters by stopping Fury in their fight from the previous year, many thought Ngannou could surprise Joshua as well.
But Joshua silenced his sceptics by outboxing Ngannou in both of the fight’s rounds and making a statement by winning via knockout in the fight’s allotted five minutes.
After being knocked out, the fighter, who was born in Cameroon, needed medical attention and was given oxygen at the ring’s corner before he was able to get back up.
