As the final bell rang, Joshua and Ngannou locked eyes and embraced in the center of the ring, a sign of respect between two fierce competitors. Despite being on the receiving end of a brutal knockout, Ngannou's spirit remained unbroken as he received words of encouragement from Joshua.
Having just witnessed Ngannou's destructive victory over the former UFC star, Joshua couldn't help but urge him to stay in the boxing world. It was clear that Ngannou's power and skill were a force to be reckoned with, and Joshua knew that he had the potential to beat many others in the sport.
Ngannou's debut in boxing last October had shocked the world, as he knocked down the reigning heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, in the third round before ultimately losing in a split decision. But in his second professional fight against Joshua, it was a different story. From the opening bell, Joshua asserted his dominance and delivered a vicious right that sent Ngannou crashing to the canvas.
Despite being knocked down twice, Ngannou refused to give up and made it to the second round. But in the end, Joshua's final blow was too much for him to handle, resulting in one of the most impressive knockouts of his career. Many had considered Ngannou's debut against Fury to be one of the best in boxing history, but Joshua's victory over him solidified his position as the heavyweight to beat.
As Ngannou stood up and regained his composure, he and Joshua shared a heartfelt embrace. In the midst of the chaos and competition, Joshua took a moment to tell Ngannou that he was an inspiration and that he had a bright future in the sport. He also offered his support and assistance, promising to speak to him more in the future.
With his dominant victory over Ngannou, Joshua's sights are now set on the winner of the historic undisputed title showdown between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on May 18th. However, due to a contracted rematch between Fury and Usyk, Joshua may have to wait for his chance to reclaim the heavyweight title.
Despite this delay, Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, declared that he had regained his status as the number one heavyweight in the world. Hearn also expressed his pride in Joshua's performance, noting the pressure he was under to win and secure a match against the winner of Fury and Usyk.
In the end, Joshua's prediction came true as he destroyed Ngannou in just two rounds, proving that he is a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world. And as for his next fight, Hearn hopes that Fury will defeat Usyk so that the two can face off in what would be the biggest fight in boxing history. But regardless of who his next opponent may be, Joshua's dominance and determination serve as an inspiration to many, both in and out of the ring.
