Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou Download Video Highlights: Heavyweight Boxing _ October 28th, 2023.
UFC former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has been rubbed for a notable victory over Tyson Fury.
The WBC heavyweight champion was knocked down in round three and seemed to have suffered a massive upset defeat against the former UFC champion.
Fury – who did not put his WBC belt on the line – was expected to wipe the floor with his opponent, who was making his professional boxing debut.
But Ngannou, with Mike Tyson in his corner, boxed brilliantly as he took the Gypsy King the distance and left him bruised and battered in one of the toughest fights of his career.
One judge gave the fight to Ngannou with a 95-94 score.
However, he was overruled by the two other officials who awarded a split decision win to Fury with highly-debatable scorecards of 96-93 and 95-94.
The Englishman came out aggressively and landed big early before his fight with Ngannou became a rather tentative affair through the first three minutes.
Round one burst into life in the final moments when Fury landed an eye-catching right hand that ‘The Predator’ ate without a problem.
The former UFC star landed a massive left hook early in round two and Fury spent the next couple of minutes dabbing at his right eye.

A cut on the WBC heavyweight king’s forehead became apparent but he seemed relatively unbothered as he kept his opponent at bay until the bell rang.
Ngannou almost caused a monumental upset in the third frame when he dropped Fury with a massive left hook – but he was unable to find the finish when his rival rose to his feet.
The best heavyweight in boxing started to bite down on his gumshield in round four and tried to take Ngannou out with a series of massive punches.
Fury’s opponent continued to land and seemed to be the much stronger man – at one point he threw the 35-year-old into the corner like it was nothing.
In round five, Fury started to find his rhythm and landed his best punch yet.
Ngannou looked off-balance and a bit tired as his boxing debut ticked past the midway point.
An uneventful sixth stanza followed but Ngannou continued to look comfortable, and the TNT Sports commentators began to speculate about how far ahead he was on the scorecards.
Fury was down again in round seven. Luckily for him, the referee called it a slip and he avoided suffering his second 10-8 round of the evening.
Ngannou ate an uppercut in the eighth but ended up landing a big combination on his rival who looked tired, discombobulated and on the verge of suffering an embarrassing stoppage defeat.
A tentative round nine followed as neither man managed to land anything clean.
It was the same thing in round ten and the only flash point was when Ngannou leapt in with a Superman punch rarely seen in boxing but often used in MMA.
Fury and Ngannou embraced after the final bell before celebrating with their respective teams and waiting for the official result to be announced by legendary announcer Michael Buffer.
Both men seemed content with the result, with Fury now set to prepare for an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
