After his stunning performance against Tyson Fury, fight fans are clamoring for Francis Ngannou to face heavyweight knockout artist Deontay Wilder.
Emanating from Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia, ‘The Predator’ made his professional boxing debut against ‘The Gypsy King’ in a star-studded event that delivered in every possible way. Through 10 entertaining rounds of action, Ngannou appeared to be one step ahead of Fury and put his power on display early, drawing blood and planting his opponent on the canvas with a big counter-left in the third round.
Despite his impressive showing, Francis Ngannou came up short on the scorecards, suffering a somewhat controversial split-decision defeat with only one point separating him from a well-deserved victory.
