Ex-UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, has said he needs to undergo more medical checkups following a brutal Anthony Joshua knockout last weekend.
Joshua floored Ngannou in the first round and early in the second.
The former UFC champion never recovered and was clearly dazed when he returned to his feet the second time.
It was then that Joshua delivered a powerful right hand to send Ngannou crumbling to the canvas.
The 37-year-old immediately received medical attention before he regained 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.
Phyna has just knocked out Nkechi Blessing in Round 4 at the Chaos in the Ring celebrity boxing match in Lagos.
Phyna, whose real name is Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, stopped Nkechi Blessing in their scheduled four-round celebrity contest at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. After the fight, the former Big Brother Naija winner named Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia, as her next target, claiming that she had been disturbing her through her direct messages (DMs).
Etinosa accepted the challenge, setting up the possibility of another celebrity boxing contest. Phyna also announced that she intends to pursue professional boxing, indicating that her appearance against Nkechi could be the beginning of a longer career in the sport.

Another Nollywood actor, Chijioke Nwokafor, popularly known as CJay Nwoks is dead.
He died on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at an undisclosed hospital in the Badore area of Lagos State.
The sad news was announced by actress Nkechi Blessing, who recently cast CJay as the lead actor in her new film.
Speaking on why the film will no longer be released, Nkechi, who was seen crying in a video on her Instagram page, said, “it took me a lot to do this video because we won’t be dropping the movie again by 5pm.
Right now, I’m in the hospital in Badore. I just lost CJay. CJay is dead. I don’t even know where to start.”
The cause of his death is still very sketchy as at the time of filing this report.
