Francis Ngannou has apologised to his followers following a defeat to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia on Friday night time.
The Cameroonian fighter suffered a knockout defeat by the hands of the previous world heavyweight champion within the second spherical.
Regardless of his commendable boxing debut towards Tyson Fury final 12 months, the combined martial artist fell brief towards his extra seasoned Nigerian-British opponent.
The 37-year-old’s defeat by second-round knockout adopted a first-round knockdown by Joshua, from which Ngannou struggled to get well.
A robust proper hand from Joshua prompted the referee to halt the combat within the second spherical.
“Apologies to everybody; I really feel I allow you to down,” Ngannou wrote on his X account.
“In the present day was a foul day within the workplace however tomorrow will likely be one other day. Thanks all for the love,” he added.
