Former UFC champion, Francis Ngannou has insisted that he won his boxing match against Tyson Fury despite the split decision favouring the Briton.
DAILY POST reported that Ngannou lost a controversial decision against Fury in the pairโs boxing match on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, despite knocking down the WBC heavyweight title holder in Round 3.
Speaking in a post-match interview with IU, the Cameroonian star said he knew that if the match comes to decision he was not going to win because it was his debut.
Ngannou said, โIf he [Fury] is being honest, he would say I won that fight. I won that fight, thereโs no question about it.
โBut before getting here, I know that if the fight get to decisions, Iโm not winning not because I didnโt do good but because Iโm a new guy in the house.โ
