Logan Paul and KSI’s reaction to Anthony Joshua’s knockout of Francis Ngannou has gone viral after the former UFC star suffered a defeat in Saudi Arabia on Friday.
Joshua knocked Ngannou down for the first time in his career in the first round before putting him back on the canvas early in the second round.
The fight was over when Joshua floored Ngannou with a powerful right hand in the second round, with the former UFC fighter unable to get back to his feet after the knockout.
KSI and Logan Paul were together for WWE’s Friday Night Smackdown, where Randy Orton RKO’d the English YouTuber and has since responded to the knockout.
On TikTok, Paul uploaded a video showing their stunned reaction, with the short caption, “My god @AnthonyJoshua.”

“This is how the Fury fight (against Ngannou) should have gone,” Paul began.
“Oh my God!” he continued after the knockout. “He killed Francis Ngannou.”
KSI continued, “No, he actually killed him, man. Oh my fucking God.”
“He collapsed.” Paul completed.
While the internet sensations couldn’t believe their eyes, Tyson Fury also reacted to the fight.
‘I had a terrible performance against Ngannou. AJ did an absolutely fantastic job lighting him up with his right hand,” he said in the immediate aftermath of the knockout.
“If he fights me after I beat Usyk twice, it will be a different match.”
It remains to be seen what’s next for AJ, with a fight against Tyson Fury in the future.
Meanwhile, his brother Tommy has also been out of action since beating KSI in a controversial decision last year.
The younger Fury has admitted that his eyes are set on a rematch with Logan Paul’s brother Jake in the future, while KSI will undoubtedly have a score to settle with the ex-Love Islander.
