Boxing fans were stunned after Tyson Fury earned a controversial split-decision win over Francis Ngannou at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ngannou, who was making his boxing debut, took Fury the distance. The former UFC champion looked ready to hand Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, his first career loss. The victory appeared in hand, especially after he sent Fury to the mat in the third round with a vicious left hook, earning the only knock down in the fight.
