Former Tyson Fury Opponent Tells Francis Ngannou What to Do Next
On Friday, March 8, we all witnessed a stacked “Knockout Chaos” card, which delivered some great moments, including Israil Madrimov becoming the WBA super welterweight world champion with an impressive stoppage against Magomed Kurbanov. I feel we all learned how patient we can be – with the mammoth gaps between fights – it almost felt like the neverending fight card. The bouts were full of action, and the highly anticipated main event did not disappoint as Anthony Joshua brutally stopped Francis Ngannou in the second round. Following the devastating KO, Derek Chisora spoke to IFLTV and expressed what he thinks Ngannou should do next.
