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.
