Anthony Joshua, on Friday night, in Saudi Arabia beat Francis Ngannou after landing the most devastating knockout of his career.

Joshua floored the Cameroonian with a stunning right hand in the first round.

The two-time heavyweight champion also gave another shuddering shot in the second round which sent his opponent to the mat once again.

Ngannou somehow managed to climb back to his feet but Joshua ended the show moments later with an explosive highlight reel finish.

The former UFC heavyweight champion was briefly left motionless on the canvas after taking three ground-shaking shots.

The 37-year-old eventually got to his feet, requiring oxygen in his corner before shaking Joshua’s hand in the centre of the ring.

However, Joshua asserted his dominance from the opening bell and scored another huge win in what was his fourth fight in under a year.

Joshua’s victory sets up the thrilling prospect of a long-awaited ‘Battle of Britian’ against Tyson Fury, or the chance for redemption against Oleksandr Usyk.
