Cameroonian fighter Francis Ngannou has apologised to his fans over his loss to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia on Friday night.
Ngannou made his apology public in a post via his X handle on Sunday.
Sorry guys I let you all down 😔 Today was a bad day in the office but tomorrow will be another day.
Thank you all for the love ❤️— Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) March 9, 2024
He stated, “Apologies to everyone; I feel I let you down.
“Today was a bad day in the office but tomorrow will be another day. Thank you all for the love,” he added.
Recall that Ngannou suffered a knockout defeat at the hands of the former world heavyweight champion in the second round.
Despite his commendable boxing debut against Tyson Fury last year, the mixed martial artist fell short against his more seasoned Nigerian-British opponent.
The 37-year-old’s defeat by second-round knockout followed a first-round knockdown by Joshua, from which Ngannou struggled to recover.
A powerful right hand from Joshua prompted the referee to halt the fight in the second round.
The Cameroonian-born boxer needed a doctor after he was knocked out and received oxygen at the corner of the ring before he stood back up.
