Just imagine if that had landed on Tyson Fury’s chin.
Ngannou, 37, comes out of the bout with huge credit and put in a solid display despite a lengthy lay-off against arguably the best heavyweight on the planet.
Who would you like him to face next? Let us know in the comments.
Boxing was left in the gutter after that circus last night. Fury was battered and bewildered yet still won…Shame on the judges
