British veteran heavyweight Derek Chisora appreciated the debut of the former UFC champion in the heavy division Francis Ngannou in professional boxing.
Let us remind you that on October 28, Ngannou unexpectedly gave a difficult fight to the WBC title holder in the heavyweight division Tyson Fury, losing only by split decision. During the fight, the Cameroonian even managed to score a knockdown.
“I wasn’t surprised. I give Francis credit, he trained hard. Ngannou knocked out MMA fighters, and he performed well. This is a situation in which he needs to be given credit. Don’t belittle Francis’ merits,” Boxing Social quotes Chisora.
