Ngannou Apologises To Fans After Shattering Defeat To Joshua
Francis Ngannou has apologised to his fans following a devastating loss to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia on Friday night.
The Cameroonian fighter was knocked out by the former world heavyweight champion in the second round.
Ngannou, a mixed martial artist went into the fight with high expectations following his impressive boxing debut against Tyson Fury last year but fell short against his more experienced Nigerian-British opponent.
The 37-year-old second round knockout defeat came after failing to fully recover from a first round knockdown by Joshua.
A strong right hand by Joshua forced the referee to stop the fight in the second round.
“Sorry guys I let you all down,” Ngannou wrote on his X account.
“Today was a bad day in the office but tomorrow will be another day. Thank you all for the love.”
Sorry guys I let you all down 😔 Today was a bad day in the office but tomorrow will be another day.
Thank you all for the love ❤️
