Let us remind you that on October 28, in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Ngannou gave a serious fight to the holder of the WBC title in the heavyweight division Tyson Fury, losing only by split decision. During the fight, the Cameroonian managed to score a knockdown.
“The fact that he went 10 rounds against Tyson Fury is crazy. I didn’t see the fight itself, but the fact that it went 10 rounds is just incredible,” the functionary said on the Triggered podcast.
