Video: Francis Ngannou Wants Tyson Fury Rematch After Fight vs. Anthony Joshua
Francis Ngannou is preparing for a fight with Anthony Joshua on March 8, but he's also thrown thrown out a challenge to Tyson Fury for a rematch after their memorable encounter in October.
Appearing on FS1's TMZ Sports, the former UFC heavyweight champion made it clear he wants Fury regardless of what happens in the Gypsy King's upcoming bout with Oleksandr Usyk.
"Tyson owes me a fight," Ngannou said. "I don't give a s--t about the winner of Usyk and Tyson. I'm coming after Tyson. Win or lose, I want Tyson!"
Ngannou made his professional boxing debut last year against Fury in a bout pitting the WBC champion against the former UFC heavyweight champion. He made the move to boxing after a contract dispute with UFC.
Despite being a heavy underdog going into the match, Ngannou more than held his own against Fury. He scored a knockdown late in the third round that briefly left the undefeated former champ dazed.
Fury had a 71-59 edge in total punches landed, but Ngannou had the advantage in power punches (37-32).
Scoring from the judges was as close as those stats suggest. Fury got a split decision win with two judges scoring it 96-93 and 95-94 in his favor. One judge had it 95-94 in favor of Ngannou.
The Fury-Usyk matchup is scheduled to take place on Feb. 17 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
