Despite being outmatched throughout the 10 rounds, even being knocked to the floor by Francis Ngannou in round 3, heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury was still confirmed by the referee to win by points.

The highly anticipated match between Tyson Fury (British) and Francis Ngannou (Cameronian) took place in Saudi Arabia on the morning of October 29 (Vietnam time) with a large number of fans around the world watching.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (nicknamed “Gypsy King”) is rated higher than Francis Ngannou, because the British boxer is undefeated in the boxing ring while the Cameroonian boxer is only competing for the first time. boxing despite being a former UFC champion in MMA (free mixed martial arts).

However, the course of the match reflected the complete opposite of the experts’ judgment, when Francis Ngannou entered the match confidently and often threw many accurate punches at the British boxer.

Not only did Fury receive a cut on his face in round 2, but Ngannou also threw an accurate left hook that caused the “Gypsy King” to fall to the ring in round 3.

However, Fury still survived and came back strongly in the next rounds, forcing Ngannou to always be on the defensive. The Cameroonian boxer cannot be subjective because many boxers have had to pay the price when trying to get close to defeat Fury and get hit with a “rebound injury” that led to being knocked out.

In round 7, Fury fell to the floor again and got tangled in the ropes, but it was considered a slip and not another disaster caused by Ngannou.

However, Ngannou’s wisdom helped him ensure both certainty in defense and strength in attack, causing Fury to only be able to defend in round 8.

The situation was similar in round 9 when Fury just tried to dodge and run around the ring under Ngannou’s attack pressure. But in the end, both boxers ended the 10 rounds without a single knockout as expected by the audience.

But the judges’ scoring results surprised everyone: 95-94 Ngannou, 96-93 Fury, and 95-94 Fury. The audience was shocked by the excellence of boxing rookie Ngannou, but was even more shocked when Fury won on points and thereby continued to maintain his undefeated record.

“We can compete again and I’m sure I will get better. This was my first boxing match, it was a great experience. I don’t make any comments on the result, because I know I have fallen short. But I will come back and work harder.

And with a little more experience and a little better feeling from this match will help me come back even stronger,” Francis Ngannou said after the loss.
