Francis Ngannou is reacting to losing a close split decision loss against Tyson Fury.
On Saturday, Ngannou did the unthinkable and nearly beat the WBC heavyweight boxing champion in the world after knocking down Fury in the third round.
Eventually, Fury eked out a controversial split decision win that divided the Internet.
After the fight, Ngannou was asked about the decision, and this is how he answered.
“If he’s being honest, he would say that I won that fight, I won that fight, there’s not a question about it, but even before getting here, I knew that if the fact would get to a decision, I’m not winning, not because I didn’t do good, but because I’m the new guy in the house.”
