Usman: 'I'm very proud of Ngannou'

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman spoke about his comrade’s debut performance Francis Ngannou in professional boxing.

Let us remind you that last weekend the former leader of the UFC heavy division lost to Tyson Fury by split decision. The fight took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“Ngannou landed harder and cleaner punches, but that’s boxing. The judges will do what they think is best. Of course I'm proud, I'm very proud.

I knew that if Ngannou could get his hands on him, he would be in trouble. “I think Tyson felt this, so he decided to bring the fight to victory on points,” MMA Junkie quotes Usman.
