Francis Ngannou, a UFC fighter turned boxer, has stated that he requires additional checkups following a severe knockout by British-Nigerian Anthony Joshua last weekend.
Joshua won the fight after knocking down Ngannou in the first and early second rounds. The former UFC champion required emergency medical assistance before regaining consciousness.
Speaking about his present health situation, the Cameroonian stated that while he feels fine, he believes he should have a checkup to see if there is anything he can do to better his health.
Ngannou said;
“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”.
