Carl Froch has given a scathing assessment on Francis Ngannou’s boxing credentials following his brutal KO defeat to Anthony Joshua.
The British heavyweight made short work of the MMA star, blasting him out in just two rounds to send a message to Tyson Fury.

‘The Gypsy King’ in contrast had a tough time with Ngannou, being dropped but claiming a controversial split-decision victory in October.

But following Ngannou’s performance on Friday night, Carl Froch has given a damning assessment on the former UFC heavyweight champion.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, ‘Froch On Fighting’ he said:
“AJ deserves all the credit, he’s got in there, he’s done the business, he’s smashed Ngannou and that’s probably finished Ngannou’s career, he’s made a few quid, he deserves respect, he’s gone in there with two of the best in the business but we should never see him in the heavyweight ring, the boxing ring, ever. again.”
This shows that somebody who is not a professional fighter shouldn’t be in with a former heavyweight champion. For me it’s justified what’s happened. It shows that boxing, the art of pugilism, the sweet science, it is what it is. Ngannou just didn’t belong in there with Anthony Joshua.”
