WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker witnessed the boxing match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, accompanied by Vince McMahon. After the fight, media personnel caught hold of the executive TKO chairman and asked him about Dana White’s earlier statement about his relationship with McMahon.

Francis Ngannou released a statement after fighting Tyson Fury

‘The Predator’ took Tyson Fury to the limit in his first-ever boxing match. He lost the fight due to a controversial split decision but won the love and admiration of many. In a statement after the match, Francis Ngannou mentioned that he believes he won the fight even though the judges scored otherwise. He said, “I’m confident that I won that fight, but I wasn’t surprised of what happened last night.”

Francis Ngannou called for the judges of his fight to be sanctioned. He cannot seem to grasp why they judge the way they do. However, he wants another shot at ‘The Gypsy King’. But besides that, he still wants to compete in MMA fights. “I do believe we’re going to run this back. In the meantime, I still have some MMA fights,” said Ngannou. He is planning to go back to the PFL and return to boxing after competing in a few MMA bouts.
