In the main event of the “Knockout Chaos” evening, Anthony Joshua struck down Francis Ngannou in the 2nd with a terrifying knockout.
Round 1: The Englishman tries to land his jab and hits his opponent in the body and face. Ngannou takes a southpaw guard to try to destabilize ‘AJ’. With a huge right, Anthony Joshua sends the Cameroonian to the mat! The ‘Predator’ gets up.
Round 2: On the other hand, the Cameroonian gets hit badly by Joshua and suffers a second knockdown. He gets up, but weakened, he is struck down by the Englishman! The former UFC champion fell to the ground one last time and did not get up. After a long few seconds, he regains his senses… But the fight is over: ‘AJ’ wins by KO.

Thus, the Englishman improves his career record to 28-3. He has a 4th consecutive success, and could quickly have a chance for the world titles. ‘AJ’ plans to take the winner of the Fury vs. Usyk, which should take place next May.

For Francis Ngannou, it’s disillusionment. The former UFC champion has a second defeat in as many boxing fights. For the first time in his career (all disciplines combined), the Cameroonian was finished before the limit.
