Francis Ngannou took on Tyson Fury in a fight that was billed as ‘The Battle of The Baddest’. Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, was making his professional boxing debut in the bout. ‘The Predator’ had left the UFC due to disputes over his contract and aspirations to chase his boxing dreams. He later signed with the PFL (Professional Fighters League) with a contract that granted him a massive payday and the freedom to pursue combat sports outside of MMA.

The fight saw Ngannou demonstrate why he was feared in the UFC as he knocked Fury down in the third round with a left hook. Despite his incredible performance, Ngannou lost the fight via a decision that has been controversial amongst the fans. Fury even threw an illegal blow at Ngannou that wasn’t addressed by the referee and judges. But now Ngannou has made a statement about the move that has caused fans to blast Tyson Fury for his antics. And the reactions indicate that the community is advising Fury to not pursue a rematch in MMA after what Ngannou has said!
