Days After Giving Tyson Fury Black Eye, Francis Ngannou Still Disappointed Over No Point Deduction for the Brit Over Elbow Thrown

Days have passed since Tyson Fury secured his controversial win over Francis Ngannou. The former UFC heavyweight champion made his professional boxing debut against Fury, and he nearly pulled off a major upset in the sport. Moreover, Ngannou surprised every boxing enthusiast globally by knocking down the boxing heavyweight champion. However, Ngannou ultimately lost by a narrow and controversial split decision. Many boxers and celebrities have expressed their doubt about this decision. Ngannou does not seem to be over it yet.

The Paul brothers, Chris Eubank Jr., and many more have deemed Ngannou the real victor of the battle. The ‘Predator’ himself, had called out Fury for being dishonest and refusing to acknowledge the real winner. In a recent X post, Ngannou has yet again argued why the decision was faulty.

Francis Ngannou adds another argument to counter Tyson Fury’s contentious win

Ngannou had already established that he did not step into the ring unprepared. He was here to show just how determined he was to shatter Fury’s image and build one of his own in the boxing realm. In the sixth round of the fight, Fury attempted a right hook but accidentally landed an elbow directly on Ngannou’s face. Despite this unexpected blow, the former UFC heavyweight champion absorbed the shot and continued to press forward. Going by the rules, this move should have resulted in a point deduction for Fury. Which, surprisingly, was not the case here.

“I watched the elbow video tens of times and I don’t understand why the referee didn’t take a point from him.” said Ngannou who has been replaying his match with the ‘Gypsy King’ to see what went wrong for the debutant. Even after watching it numerous times, Ngannou was unable to make out why Fury did not get reprimanded for breaking the rules.

Tyson Fury takes responsibility for a subpar show

In a recent candid interview with iFL TV, the ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury addressed the criticisms surrounding his lackluster performance in the match. When questioned about Ngannou’s knockdown, a black-eyed Fury openly admitted his fault. He acknowledged that his own greediness had played a part in his disappointing performance. He firmly took the blame upon himself, refusing to point fingers at anyone else. Not his trainer, manager, or cutman was responsible for it.

Fury philosophically stated, “There’s no who to blame, blame me. There’s no blame the trainer, blame the manager, blame the cutman, blame me, if you’re gonna blame anybody, it was me.” He accepted the harsh reality of the sport, likening it to a raw, unscripted battle where fighters step in, give their all, and then move on, paycheck in hand. He was happy to have earned his share in the fight. With a positive outlook, he eagerly looked forward to his return home to his family. Moreover, he was now ready to take on the challenges of the next undisputed fight.

While the buzz about the fight seems to be fading, new arguments come forward to liven it again. Though Mike Tyson is content with his pupil’s performance, Ngannou still feels he was wronged. Whose side are you on?
