Tyson Fury Says He Treated Francis Ngannou Fight Like an Exhibition

Tyson Fury has admitted he did not prepare for his October 2023 bout with Francis Ngannou as seriously as he would for a recognised world-class boxer. Ngannou, making his professional boxing debut, shocked fans by knocking Fury down in the third round and taking the contest the full 10 rounds. Fury won by split decision, although many viewers believed Ngannou had done enough to win. Fury said he viewed the contest as an exhibition, while Ngannou saw it as the opportunity of a lifetime. He also maintained that Ngannou, despite his strength, does not punch as hard as Deontay Wilder.
