YouTube sensation Logan Paul has joined those criticizing the verdict, expressing his belief that the outcome was unfair. Paul, who transitioned from YouTube to boxing, asserted that Fury’s victory was a result of a flawed scoring system in boxing. He emphasized the need for a more objective scoring system, stating that hand-picked judges’ subjectivity and bias are undermining the sport’s credibility. Paul viewed the decision as a clear case of Ngannou being unjustly denied his rightful win, leading him to question the integrity of boxing as a whole.
Ngannou’s debut performance surpassed expectations, according to Eubank Jr., who believed Ngannou won the fight due to his aggression, powerful shots, and knockdown.
