Over the weekend, fans around the world tuned in to witness the much-anticipated boxing match between Anthony Joshua, the British-Nigerian heavyweight champion, and Francis Ngannou, the Cameroonian-French fighter making his transition from the UFC to boxing.

Ngannou, known for his brutal fighting style during his UFC career, entered the ring with high expectations from fans eager to see how he would fare against Joshua, a seasoned boxing champion.

In a surprising turn of events, Joshua secured victory over Ngannou with a knockout, solidifying his dominance in the boxing world. However, the outcome of the match has sparked controversy among Nigerians, who took to social media to express skepticism about the legitimacy of the result. Many found it hard to believe that Ngannou, known for his formidable fighting skills, would lose to Joshua in such a straightforward manner, leading to speculation that the match may have been fixed.

Following his win, Joshua extended shout-outs to various countries associated with the fight, including Britain, Cameroon, and Saudi Arabia, where the match was hosted. However, Nigerians were quick to notice that Joshua did not mention Nigeria in his post-fight remarks. This omission disappointed many Nigerian fans, who expressed their frustration and even went as far as canceling Joshua on social media platforms.

The aftermath of the match has ignited discussions about sportsmanship, fair play, and national pride, highlighting the passionate connection between athletes and their fans. As Joshua celebrates his victory and Ngannou reflects on his transition to boxing, the boxing world continues to buzz with speculation and anticipation for future matchups.
