Frank Warren, promoter of the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, called the talk that the British boxer deliberately performed poorly in the fight against Francis Ngannouto postpone the fight against Alexandra Usika.
“What kind of nonsense? When was the setup? When Tyson was one or two seconds before the referee's signal after being knocked down in the third round? Or when he had to clench his fists and fight hard to snatch a well-deserved victory?
All this idiocy mainly comes from the same people who said before the fight that it is a farce, a sham and a circus when the world heavyweight champion arranges a crossover fight with Ngannou, in which he will win so easily that the fight will end when he wants . We knew that Ngannou would be a difficult opponent with enormous punching power and the physical strength to take heavy blows,” Boxing Scene quotes Warren as saying.
Let us remember that on October 28, Fury defeated Ngannou by split decision (96-93, 95-94, 94-95) in the main event of the boxing evening in Riyadh.
