Former WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua commented on his victory over mixed martial arts star, former UFC heavyweight division titleholder Francis Ngannou.

"When I saw the fight between Ngannou and Fury, I realized this guy can fight. I said to myself, 'I want to face him.' He inspires people, he's a great champion. He lost, but he has a lot of potential. I think he can come back. I told Francis he shouldn't retire from boxing. He will succeed," - said the Briton.

Recall that Joshua brutally knocked out Ngannou in the second round. Their fight became the main event of the evening of boxing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
