Ngannou, a crossover MMA superstar, faced Joshua in his second boxing ring appearance, but Joshua's second-round knockout left him obliterated.
Ngannou's initial promise, highlighted by landing his long left hook, was overshadowed by Joshua's strategic switch to southpaw, culminating in a massive right hand that sent Ngannou crashing in round one.
Despite briefly rising, Ngannou couldn't withstand Joshua's relentless assault in the second round, succumbing to a single, powerful right hand that rendered him unable to continue.
This emphatic victory positions Joshua for a potential showdown with the winner of the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk fight in May.
