Former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua delivered a highlight-reel knockout over former UFC heavyweight world champion Francis Ngannou on Saturday at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Joshua came out throwing jabs to the body in the early going before sending his foe to a trip to the canvas in the opening round. Another big right hand on top also sent Ngannou crashing to the canvas again in the second round.

The hard-hitting mixed martial artist was able to beat the count but was ready for the taking and Joshua put him away for good with another right hand that knocked him unconscious at the 2:38 mark of Round Two.

It was Joshua’s fourth straight victory, improving his record to 28-3 with 25 knockouts while Ngannou dropped his professional boxing record to 0-2.
