Tyson Fury Makes His Feelings Clear On Francis Ngannou RematchTyson Fury was quite sensationally knocked down by Francis Ngannou recently in Riyadh, saying afterwards that it was one of his toughest fights in a decade.
It was Ngannou’s professional boxing debut, making the scenes all the more shocking.
The 37-year-old boxed well against an off-form Fury, making it the ten round distance but ultimately losing by split decision.With the pre-fight script flipped, the MMA man turned in-demand boxer has made it clear that he wants a second crack at Fury.
In a newly released post-fight clip, the Brit told TNT Sports that it was likely.
“No, he was what I thought he would be. I think he’ll have a chance to hit like everyone else.
Look, he’s a good fighter and maybe we’ll get a rematch down the road somewhere. Who can doubt that?
Indeed, no one can believe it. Ngannou has had little luck in his squad-building process, by both Fury and objective observers. Now he has earned his invincible aura from the “Gypsy King” when he needs it most – ahead of an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
This contract may cause Ngannou to wait up to two matches for a rematch.
Meanwhile, he received offers from Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, both former champions, hoping to lure him back to mixed martial arts under the Professional Fighters League banner.
The undisputed fight date as well as Ngannou’s next move are expected to be announced in the coming months.
