Anthony Joshua knocked out Francis Ngannou with a devastating second-round finish on Friday in Saudi-Arabia.
Joshua’s victory came as a shock for some pundits’ who speculated a sensational upset.
Joshua sent Ngannou to the canvass with a vicious right hand in the opening round before knocking down the former UFC heavyweight champion twice in the next, the second of which would leave Ngannou flat out for the count.
“When I saw the fight with Fury, I thought damn, this guy could fight, I wanted a piece of that,” said Joshua post-fight.
“He’s an inspiration, a great champion, and this shouldn’t take away from his capabilities. He can come again. I told him he shouldn’t leave boxing. He’s two fights in, and he’s fought the best.
“He can go a long way if he stays dedicated”, Tyson said after the fight.
