Eddie Hearn, promoter of former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, once again commented on his ward's victory in the fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. This time, the functionary called the finish the best knockout since the advent of boxing.
"Some people say it's the knockout of the year. I say knockout of the year since the birth of boxing. I envisioned A.J. knocking him out, but in the later rounds. It was a great performance," Hearn told iFL TV.
Recall, Joshua finished MMA fighter Ngannou yesterday in the second round of their confrontation, which took place on March 8 in Riyadh. In the first round, Francis was knocked down.
