Garcia on Fury elbowing Ngannou during the fight

Many fans were left puzzled by Tyson Fury’s alleged elbow strike to Francis Ngannou’s head during the sixth round of their recent bout, a move that could have warranted a point deduction or disqualification. This blatant foul appeared to go unnoticed by the referee, Michael Griffin, leading to speculations about how it might have influenced the fight’s outcome, potentially turning Tyson’s 10-round split decision win into a draw.

Robert Garcia expressed his perspective on the incident, stating, “No damage was caused. I don’t know if the ref [saw it]. On the slow-motion replay, you could clearly see that he went in for the elbow, but during the fight, nobody sees that.” However, the lack of a penalty or disqualification affected Ngannou since Fury’s foul went unpunished, and he ultimately won the fight. It’s evident that the elbow was intentional, as Robert pointed out, “This one was clearly an elbow [from Fury]. You could tell. It was clearly on purpose. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
