Ngannou explained why he lost to Joshua

Francis Ngannou, former UFC heavyweight champion, commented on his loss in his fight with Anthony Joshua.

"The fight didn't go the way we planned. It was a strange day. I arrived at the arena at ten o'clock in the evening, but I didn't fight until half past four in the night. Already warming up, I felt tired - I was sweating, but I wanted to sleep. However, I give credit to Anthony Joshua and his team - they were in the same conditions but did their job perfectly. I was the one who didn't do what I was supposed to do and didn't execute my fight plan because I was essentially absent from the ring. I can only blame myself - that's the way the game is played," Ngannou stated.
