Francis Ngannou was knocked out cold by Anthony Joshua last night.
The MMA fighter had surprised many by taking the WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury all of the way only losing a narrow split-decision in October.
This time against Joshua though, he had lost the shock factor and safe to say the Brit was well prepared and ended the fight in fashion in the second round.

Fair play to the former UFC heavyweight champion for making the switch and taking on two of the best heavyweights in the division.

With Ngannou losing, it’s been said that he “lost the surprise” factor!!!!
Nothing to do with the last boxer being an over rated lump of lard with a massive mouth and Circus family following?
This time he fought a well trained Pro boxer in peak condition. That makes a massive difference!
