Tyson Fury remains undefeated after defeating Francis Ngannou by a 2-1 decision in their much anticipated clash on Saturday night.
The outcome of the match remains very controversial, though. as Ngannou put on a great fight and even knocked Fury down in the third round, but that didn’t seem enough for the referees to give him the edge at the final scoring.
The two boxers unexpectedly played 10 rounds, in which the “Gypsy King” delivered good hits, but never once managed to seriously shake his opponent.
Francis Ngannou, on the other hand, made his debut in boxing, after his many years in UFC. The Cameroonian did impressively and according to many commentators, fully deserved the victory, but two of the judges were of a different opinion.
REPOST if you are proud of Francis Ngannou.

The most interesting moment of the clash was in the third round when Ngannou started very well and a strong left punch found Fury unprepared and sent him to the ground. Somehow the Brit managed to stand up and sty on his feet until the bell.
