Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, faced a tough challenge transitioning to professional boxing, and despite showing promise in his previous bout against Fury, he succumbed to Joshua's relentless assault.
With this impressive win, Joshua re-enters the heavyweight title conversation, prompting promoter Eddie Hearn to call for a potential matchup between Joshua and the winner of Fury's upcoming clash with Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk, who has defeated Joshua twice before, will vie with Fury for the undisputed heavyweight title in May, with a rematch slated for later this year.
