Tyson Fury was supposed to run through Francis Ngannou. Instead, he had one of his hardest fights in a long time.
Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, narrowly defeated Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight titleholder, via split decision (94-95, 96-93, 95-94) in a 10-round professional boxing match Saturday evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury’s heavyweight title wasn’t on the line in the highly anticipated crossover bout.
“That definitely wasn’t in the script,” Fury said of the close fight.
“Francis is a hell of a fighter. Strong, big puncher, and a lot better of a boxer than we all thought he would ever be.
“He gave me probably one of my toughest fights in the last 10 years,” Fury added.
The story of the fight is Ngannou drastically exceeding expectations in his pro boxing debut.
He scored the lone knockdown of the match, shocking Fury with a left hook in the third round.
