Legendary former world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes shared his impressions of the fight between the WBC belt holder Tyson Fury and mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou.

Let us remember that on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fury defeated Ngannou by split decision.

— They just should have called this fight an exhibition. The way he was. But that didn’t happen, and the guys didn’t look their best. They must get better.

— Who do you think won the fight, Fury or Ngannou?

— Tyson Fury won.

— How do you assess the current era of heavyweight?

— She’s not very good. I'd rather watch soap operas on TV than these guys fight. But everything is okay. They must learn, develop, like I did.
