Anthony Joshua put Francis Ngannou to sleep in their contest on Friday night.
Joshua did what many thought Tyson Fury would do against the MMA star and dropped him twice before brutally ending the fight with a sledgehammer of a right hand.
Can't stop watching this.

Ngannou had won plenty of plaudits for his professional boxing debut against Fury last October where he dropped ‘The Gypsy King’ before being defeated by split-decision.
Joshua seemingly took the fight much more seriously than Fury and showed the gulf in class between a novice 0-1 boxer but elite mixed-martial artist.
Ngannou has vowed to continue in boxing alongside fighting MMA in the PFL but Derek Chisora doesn’t think this is the best idea for the former UFC heavyweight champion.
“Go back to the UFC,” Chisora told iFL TV.
“It was a gimmick, that’s it. We’ve found out who he is, he’s done.”
Would you like Francis Ngannou to continue his boxing career? Let us know in the comments.
I wouldn’t like to see him get hurt…. who ever governor’s this sort of boxing needs to consider miss matches at the risk of someone getting hurt…. Francis should never of fought fury and should of never fought Aj even more so Aj been punching all his live and taking them dodging them blocking them a boxers brain is designed for that mma look to take down ground and pound different mind set
I want Francis to continue boxing regardless of his loss.He need to have match with boxers below the top 10 boxers.he need the best trainer who can train him well.He need to watch closely the techniques of the opponent and prepare in advance before going in to the ring.
Practice makes perfect.
Nagannou isn’t even a good at mma he is just big and strong and throws wild punches
