Former UFC champion, Francis Ngannou has insisted that he won his boxing match against Tyson Fury despite the split decision favoring the Briton.
We reported that Ngannou lost a controversial decision against Fury in the pair's boxing match on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, despite knocking down the WBC heavyweight title holder in Round 3.
Speaking in a post-match interview with IU, the Cameroonian star said he knew that if the match comes to a decision, he was not going to win because it was his debut.
Ngannou said,
"If he [Fury] is being honest, he would say I won that fight. I won that fight, there's no question about it.
"But before getting here, I know that if the fight get to decisions, I'm not winning not because I didn't do good but because I'm a new guy in the house."
