<\/p>\nBoxing fans have hit out at the judges who handed Tyson Fury his controversial victory over Francis Ngannou.<\/p>\n
The Gypsy King survived one of the biggest scares of his career since he was knocked out by Deontay Wilder in 2018. Fury narrowly overcame Ngannou, who was competing in his first ever professional boxing match, courtesy of a close split-decision.<\/p>\n
However, many believe the former UFC heavyweight champion should have been the one with his arm raised, especially after he knocked the WBC heavyweight champion down with a huge left hand in the third round. After the results were confirmed, boxing fans came out in their masses to crown Ngannou as their champion.<\/p>\n

While Fury did land 71 punches to Ngannou's 59, the Cameroonian dominated when it came to power punches, landing 37 to the champion's 32. His most shocking moment, which may have also become one of the most famous punches in the sport's history, came when he knocked down Fury with a huge left hand to the side of the head in the third round.<\/p>\n
After he sent the giant crashing down to the mat, he proceeded to dance over the top of the champion. Fury has previously sealed his victories by singing a song to his wife Paris in the ring, but the Mancunian was in no such mood to do anything like that after the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat definitely wasn\u2019t in the script,\u201d Fury admitted after the fight. "Francis is a hell of a fighter; strong, a big puncher and a lot better boxer than we all thought he would ever be. He\u2019s a very awkward man and I respect him a lot \u2013 before the fight and afterwards.<\/p>\n
