Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou recalled the moment from the fight against Tyson Fury, when the Briton fell into a knockdown, but managed to get up and continue the fight.
Ngannou said on Club Shay Shay's YouTube channel.
It wasn’t a strong punch, so I know that he’s gonna get up. It was a punch that hit his shoulder first before it hit his temple.
The fight between Ngannou and Fury took place in the main event of the boxing night held on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This confrontation lasted the whole distance and ended in favor of Tyson by a split decision of judges.
Currently, Fury has 34 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no losses in his professional boxing career. For Ngannou, the last fight was his debut in the boxing ring.
