Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou spoke about his emotions at the moment when he managed to knock down the WBC title holder in the heavyweight division Tyson Fury.

Let us remember that on October 28, Ngannou lost to Fury by split decision in a 10-round fight. For the Cameroonian, this was his debut performance in professional boxing.

“I felt pretty great at that moment. I want to say that I have been following Fury for a long time. I've seen him take a big hit, pass out, and then come back.

So I knew I could send him to the floor. To be honest, I expected more from this knockdown. I just looked into his eyes when he was on the floor and saw that they were open, and Tyson was fully conscious,” Boxing Social quotes Ngannou.
