Anthony Joshua dropped Francis Ngannou three times inside two rounds, including a massive right hand that left the Cameroonian predator out on the canvas.
The 34-year-old former heavyweight champion was sharp from the very start of the bout, putting 37-year-old Francis down in the first round with a hard straight right.
Though, Ngannou returned to his feet and even landed a hard punch towards the end of the round.
In round one, Ngannou was looking for that big shot with his right but Joshua was able to stay out of danger.
The knockdown came after Ngannou switched to southpaw and Joshua threw a straight right, landing clinically on the chin.
In round two, Joshua’s heavy punch dropped Ngannou for a second time. He beat the count and then Joshua put him down with one punch and that ended the contest.
The Martial artist laid flat on his back for some time after taking Joshua’s punch but the medics were quick into the ring to provide treatment, after which he sat on his stool receiving some oxygen.
