WATCH: Boxer Anthony Joshua LEVELS Francis Ngannou

Boxing great Anthony Joshua absolutely destroyed former UFC champion Francis Ngannou last night with a vicious KO. 

… annnnd goodnight Francis!

Joshua ended up knocking down Ngannou three times within the first two rounds before connecting with a right hand that put Francis in a different dimension.

To be honest, Ngannou's loss comes as a pretty big shock considering the former MMA fighter-turned-boxer just fought against Tyson Fury and came VERY close to winning after knocking the heavyweight champion down during their battle. In the end however, the fight went the distance with the boxing referees giving Fury the victory - which many people believe should have been at the very least a draw or even Francis winning.

Sure, the majority of people (and Vegas) expected Ngannou to lose last night to Joshua - just not like that.

FRANCIS NGANNOU FACED 2 OF THE 3 TOP RANKED BOXERS

But as they say - you never know what can happen when you lace up the gloves, and it's 1-on-1 against someone as talented and superior as Anthony Joshua.

Despite Francis Ngannou coming in with a TON of buzz based on his sheer size at 257 pounds and standing 6'4" with a track record of being an absolute phenom inside the MMA cage, Anthony Joshua reminded Francis that he was stepping into a different world - Joshua's boxing ring.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR FRANCIS NGANNOU?

"Don't let this discourage you, don't let success get to your head and you should never let failure get to your heart," the No. 3 boxer Joshua in the world told reporters afterwards. 

Even the casual observer could see that Ngannou didn't have even the basic boxing skills to defend or maneuver around Joshua - something that will come in time if he's serious about pursuing boxing along with his MMA career with fighting.

Francis told reporters he is and that we can expect to see him in the boxing ring again soon.

As for Anthony Joshua - boxing fans are flipping out today thinking that they may finally see him fight Fury, something that they've been waiting on for a long time.
