Video: What’s next for Francis Ngannou after KO loss to Anthony Joshua?

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Francis Ngannou fell to 0-2 in boxing on Friday when he was knocked out by Anthony Joshua.

After pushing Tyson Fury to the limit in his debut bout in October, losing a controversial split decision, Ngannou was on top of the world. He got a dose of reality against Joshua, however, when he was outclassed and dropped twice before a final finishing shot put the lights out at Kingdom Arena.

It’s the first time Ngannou has ever been stopped in combat sports competition, and at 37, it would be a career-altering result.

Will Ngannou continue his path in boxing in search of his first win? Or should he return to MMA and finally make his long-awaited PFL debut?

Check out the video above for thoughts and analysis on Ngannou’s future after his knockout loss to Joshua.
