A difficult winner from the Cameroonian giant, Tyson Fury went to the ground in the third round. A sequence that will mark the history of boxing.
Tyson Fury may have narrowly won on points against Francis Ngannou (95-94, 95-94, 93-96), the strong image of this boxing fight in Riyadh (in Saudi Arabia) on the night of Saturday to Sunday will remain that of a Briton on the ground, briefly stunned after having suffered the lightning coming from the Cameroonian’s fist. In the third of ten rounds when he had just launched a sequence, the “Gipsy King” was surprised by a terrible hook from the MMA legend which sent him directly to the mat.
Ngannou, who was making his debut in the noble art while he has built his legend in the octagon in recent years, even came to taunt the best current heavyweight (WBC world champion) and huge favorite for this clash at the top by engaging in a tasty little dance. A brief provocation, Fury getting up fairly quickly before returning to the fight.
