Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou stated that he will need to have more medical tests done after a brutal knockout by Anthony Joshua last weekend.
Joshua knocked Ngannou down in the first round and again early in the second round.
Ngannou never fully recovered and seemed disoriented when he got back up the second time.
It was at that moment that Joshua landed a powerful right hand, causing Ngannou to collapse to the ground.
The 37-year-old was promptly attended to by medical staff before regaining consciousness.
“We move, but regardless, I feel okay. I was quite surprised that I remember everything from that fight night and coming back to the locker room. Basically I was conscious right after and since then everything has been good, although (I) still need to run some medical work just in case.
“I feel healthy but for the longevity of the sport… we better check and find out if there’s anything that could be done to get better now… I still need more checkups,” Ngannou said.
