Dmitry Bivol has some key advice for Tyson Fury post his win against Francis Ngannou. In a contentious bout in Saudi Arabia, the WBC heavyweight champion narrowly defeated the former UFC fighter via a split decision. Ngannou, making his boxing debut, knocked Fury down in the third round with a powerful left hook. Despite Fury growing into the fight, his performance was nowhere near the level of what was expected of him. The judges’ scores were 96-93 and 95-94 in Fury’s favor, with one judge scoring 95-94 for Ngannou.

Fury prevailed despite Ngannou’s impactful shots and scoring a knockdown. This is what has become the subject of debate. A surprised Bivol has added his views to the ongoing argument.

Dmitry Bivol changes sides after the Tyson Fury-Francis Ngannou fight

In an interview with FightHubTV, Bivol has given his analysis of the fight. Just like the rest. Bivol was taken aback by the ‘Predator’s performance. Tyson, however, was a different story. “You know I was surprised how fight was going on. I didn’t give Francisco too much expectation about this fight. He was good and Tyson was so bad today to be honest.”

“I wish him to have a good training camp before Usyk, because if we see Tyson like this against Usyk, we all know what will be. Now I give more advantage to Usyk of course.”

Talking about ‘Gypsy King’s upcoming fight, Bivol expressed his concern. If Fury heads in with the same preparation he did for the Ngannou fight, he is in trouble. Bivol changed his pick to Usyk after the fight, based on Fury’s quite average performance.

How much did Francis Ngannou pocket from the fight?
