I Didn’t Feel Anything –Ngannou Dismissed Joshua’s knockout Punch

Francis Ngannou has dismissed Anthony Joshua’s knockout punch, in Friday night’s fight.

Joshua claimed a second round knockout victory against the former UFC champion at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The London 2012 Olympic gold medal winner dropped Ngannou with a clean right hand.

In the second round he then landed a crushing right hand once again which sent Ngannou to the mat.

Ngannou beat the count only to have Joshua immediately flatten him again to end the fight.

“I didn’t feel the punch because that’s what knockout is about, I don’t fear pain,” he said in his post-fight in a video on Sky Sports Boxing X handle.

He, however, praised Joshua for winning via knockout, a feat which he said Tyson Fury could not achieve.

“He (Joshua) was quite special, he stopped me, he did what Tyson Fury couldn’t do. It wasn’t my day, he was way better than me, so it’s part of the game.”

Meanwhile, Joshua has said he has set his cite on a possible fight with the winner between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
