Joshua’s Knockout of Ngannou the Best in Anglo-Nigerian’s Boxing Career, Says Promoter

Eddie Hearn named Anthony Joshua’s KO of Francis Ngannou as the best he has ever seen while sitting at ringside.

Hearn has watched every step of Joshua’s career live from ringside, having promoted the two-time heavyweight world champion since his debut in October 2013.

Joshua is a notorious KO artist who has left some of the very best operators flat on their back using his notorious punching power.

He has flattened the likes of Wladimir Klitschko and Dillian Whyte during his stellar time in the paid ranks.

But Hearn has named his devastating stoppage of Ngannou in 2023 as the best KO and most frightening thing he’s seen while watching squared circle action.

He told talkSPORT.com: “The best one I’ve seen, not pound-for-pound credibility wise was Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou.

“It was the most frightening thing I’ve ever seen, particularly when I got in the ring afterwards.”

Hearn also named Leigh Wood’s KO victory over Michael Conlan in February 2023 and Alexander Povetkin’s KO of Dillian Whyte in 2020 as two notable favourites.
