But while one judge scored it 95-94 in favour of Ngannou, two gave it to Fury at 96-93 and 95-94.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fury&#8217;s WBC heavyweight belt was not on the line. &#8220;That definitely wasn&#8217;t in the script,&#8221; Fury told TNT Sports. &#8220;I got caught round the back of the head [for the knockdown]. I wasn&#8217;t hurt. I got up and got back to my boxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He&#8217;s an awkward man and a good puncher and I respect him a lot. He&#8217;s given me one of my toughest fights of the last 10 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ngannou, making his professional boxing debut, came out tentatively behind the jab in the opening round and Fury seemed content with a slow start as he looked to get a read on his opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fury got a first taste of Ngannou&#8217;s power in round two, though, as a cut opened on the forehead of the Gypsy King when he ate a left hook. Fury looked ill-prepared and sluggish and hit the canvas in round three when he was found behind the right ear with that same punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-attachment-id=\"8464\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2023\/10\/29\/tyson-fury-vs-francis-ngannou-british-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-over-ex-ufc-fighter\/tyson-fury-v-francis-ngannou-british-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1.jpg?fit=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,533\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1.jpg?fit=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Tyson-Fury-v-Francis-Ngannou-British-heavyweight-claims-controversial-split-decision-win-1.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps still feeling the impact of that shot, he struggled to find his rhythm until the fifth round when he caught Ngannou with a straight one-two combination. After a brief push back from Fury when he started to box at range and have success with his jab, Ngannou again began to land some heavy punches in the latter rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seemed the scorecards were against Fury and he appeared desperate when lunging forward in the seventh, missing Ngannou and falling to his knees &#8211; deemed a slip rather than a knockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ngannou boxed very smartly when he was able to close the distance, using his MMA skills to clinch and land shots to the body and head. Fury&#8217;s face carried the damage as the final bell rang and Ngannou&#8217;s corner held his arms up high in the expectation that he was on the verge of pulling off the biggest shock in boxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the scorecards controversially fell in favour of the seasoned boxer, who won the commemorative &#8216;Riyadh champion&#8217; belt and extended his unbeaten record to 35 &#8211; winning 34 and drawing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;My training camp was only three and a half months and I came into this with an injury,&#8221; Ngannou said. &#8220;But I don&#8217;t want to give excuses. I will look at what I can do next to improve my game to come back even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Now I know I can do this, get ready. The wolf is in the house.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fury&#8217;s victory means a blockbuster bout with fellow heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk &#8211; who holds the WBA, WBO and IBF titles which was agreed earlier this month, remains on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An undisputed heavyweight contest, the first in the four-belt era, has been mooted for 23 December, but a cut and bruised Fury might struggle to recover so quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bobbie Jackson BBC Sport WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claimed a controversial split decision victory over former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.
