Wow, all hail the fury of Francis Ngannou. There were many combat sports events that had retired MMA fighters going against some boxing star. But none came close to the boxing matchup between Tyson Fury and the ex-UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou. And it was a foregone conclusion for the Gypsy King to mop the ring with Ngannou and continue his reign. If only we could have had an inkling of the mettle of the champion. And definitely we can feel you, LeBron, that was close.

Tyson Fury has won the match, but Ngannou walked away as the People’s Champ.

As the world heaved a sigh at Francis Ngannou’s loss, so did the king. LeBron was rather frustrated with the split decision win that went in favor of Tyson Fury. His “C’Mon Man” has a lot to say about that.

Francis knocked down Tyson in round three and had a confident presence throughout the match. The results that gave the win to Tyson Fury are; 95-94 Ngannou, 96-93 Fury, 95-94 Fury. At least on one judge’s assessment, Francis was the winner. With this split decision victory, Tyson Fury has welcomed Francis Ngannou to the world of boxing that looks primed for the predator’s wrath.

What makes Fury so special is his ability to rise above the setbacks both in life and in boxing. In the Triology against Wilder, Tyson had been knocked down many times. And what would have erased the consciousness of the most boxers could not put out the Gypsy King. But this victory against Ngannou might not be satisfactory enough for the WBC Ace, who could choose to dance with him again.
