Mike Tyson hilariously reacted to the result of Francis Ngannou’s fight against Tyson Fury<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After a captivating battle, Fury won by virtue of a split decision but Ngannou impressed<\/p>\n
The former heavyweight great then moved his head towards the camera as he retorted: ‘How did you score it?’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reporter then replied: ‘I thought Francis won?,’ before Tyson added: ‘You’re right.’<\/p>\n
He was then questioned on whether Ngannou had been robbed by the result, but Tyson was magnanimous as he said: ‘No, it wasn’t a robbery. But everyone knows the outcome.’<\/p>\n
Speaking after the fight, Ngannou – who received praise from Fury for his performance – was satisfied despite defeat.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘I’m feeling great, I’m feeling fantastic. I’m really happy. I might be wounded but I’m not beaten today – I can bite. I’m just a fighter and I’m ready to fight anytime soon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When asked how he scored the fight, Tyson bit back at the reporter with the same question<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The legendary boxer helped to train Ngannou for the fight in what was his first boxing bout<\/p>\n
‘We can run it back again and I’m sure I’m going to get better. This was my first boxing match, great experience. There’s no excuse, I know I came up short.<\/p>\n
‘But I’m going to go back and work harder with a little bit experience this time, a little more feeling of the game and I’ll come back stronger.<\/p>\n
‘At first I was a little nervous about this new sport that I never did. Now I know I can do this s***.<\/p>\n
‘Get ready because a wolf is in the house! I’m going to bite some s***.’<\/p>\n
