Anthony Joshua delivered a devastating knockout to Francis Ngannou in the second round, preventing any chance of an upset and moving one step closer to becoming a three-time world champion on Friday.

In the opening round, Joshua sent Ngannou to the canvas with a powerful right hand before knocking him down twice more in the following round, with the final knockdown leaving Ngannou unable to continue.

This victory marked Joshua's most impressive knockout to date, following impressive wins over Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin as he seeks another shot at a world title.

With this win, Joshua is now expected to face the winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
