Francis Ngannou is getting no respect from the boxing community following his impressive performance against WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury.
Strapping on the eight-ounce gloves for his professional boxing debut, ‘The Predator’ delivered a jaw-dropping performance against perhaps the greatest boxer on the planet, even knocking Fury down with a counter-left hand in the third round.
Despite all of his success, Ngannou came up short of scoring the upset, losing the bout on two of the three judges’ scorecards by the narrowest of margins.
Since then, fight fans have been excited to see what Francis Ngannou can do against some of the heavyweight division’s most prominent stars, including Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, and Joe Joyce.
