“Just yesterday I was reading the comments about Ngannou and everyone was saying how good he is, how strong he is, how bulletproof he is. And now opened the comments after his failure and everyone is writing how dead he is, how weak he is. Yeah, in one day you can go from bulletproof to a sieve for people. Tough subject,” the Russian said in a video published on the social network.
The bout between the Cameroonian and the Briton, which took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, ended late in the second round with the former UFC heavyweight champion losing by a deafening knockout. Before cutting down Ngannou with a straight right, Joshua knocked his opponent down twice in the first and second rounds.
With a more than convincing victory, Anthony Joshua became the main challenger to fight the absolute heavyweight champion of the boxing world, which will be determined on May 18 in a unification bout between Tyson Fury and Alexander Usik.
