It is astonishing to fans who staked for Ngannou how the two-time wright-handing giving Joshua knocked out mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou in just the second round of their heavyweight clash in the early hours of Saturday.
The heightened anticipation for this boxing match stems from the desire for national bragging rights following the Eagles’ 2-0 win over the Indomitable Lions in the round of 16 of the AFCON, which sent Rigobert Song’s men out of the competition.
Ngannou is campaigning for a Fury rematch after “The Gypsy King” battles Oleksandr Usyk early next year. In addition, the Cameroonian slugger is expected to make his PFL MMA “Super Fight” debut on pay-per-view (PPV), once the promotion can find an opponent that’s “interesting” to both fans and Ngannou.
