The competition between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou was united by the two parties in the professional boxing law and special format. Fury is holding the World World Championship belt, but he does not bring his belt to bet in this match. Therefore, the match only takes place within 10 rounds, instead of 12 rounds as a battle belt.
Before the day of the glove, Fury said he would lower the nunnou soon in 6 rounds. Fury himself was confident when he appeared on the throne, with the costume of a Emperor. However, that did not happen. In the opposite direction, Fury was the one who was pressed by the nunnou during the first match.
As a MMA boxer, Ngannou showed that he was prepared when he was encroaching on a professional playground to fight Fury. It was most evident in the third half. The very heavy hooks of the nunnou made Fury fall into the stage, one thing no one could think of before the game began.
Fury tried to try his best later, but he could not end the match soon with the nunnou. At the end of 10 rounds, Fury won with a score of non-consensus (96-93, 95-94, 94-95). The third judge is the only person nunnou to win against Fury, different from the other two colleagues.
“This scenario certainly no one imagines. Ngunnou is one of the hardest opponents I have to face in the last 10 years,” Fury said. “He was sympathetic like a warrior, strong and had very heavy punches. Ngunnou was much better than what people could think of when he switched to boxing.”
For Ngannou personally, he said the match results did not completely reflect what happened. Ngannou himself said he played well. In the coming time, the former UFC champion is expected to continue playing in parallel both in the MMA and boxing arena, where he can make more money.
