Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou went face-to-face in one hell of a boxing fight on Saturday, October 28, in Saudi Arabia. Their match was expected to be a great contest, and it not just lived up to the expectations, but even exceeded them.
The actual contest was spectacular, but the ending was a very controversial one, as fans weren’t really happy with the final decision. The Predator gave a reply to his critics through this bout, but he wasn’t able to come out as the victorious fighter.
Moreover, his controversial loss has started a debate on social media, and Ronda Rousey’s ex-boyfriend, Brendan Schaub, has trashed the judges for their decision. Expressing his views about the Fury vs Ngannou fight’s ending, Schaub shared how Francis is the winner for him.
Before this all boxing judges score this fight. @francis_ngannou won that fight. Regardless what these salty dinosaur judges tell you.

The 40-year-old former MMA artist wrote, “Before this all boxing judges score this fight. @francis_ngannou won that fight. Regardless what these salty dinosaur judges tell you.” It shows how convinced he was about a victory for the 37-year-old star, and he’s unhappy with Fury‘s victory.
It must be noted that Tyson was able to take away the win, but a large part of the audience believes Ngannou deserved it. As the Cameroonian-French fighter even knocked down Fury, fans also believe that the 37-year-old was robbed of a well-deserved victory against The Gypsy King.
Brendan Schaub isn’t the only public figure to raise voice for Francis Ngannou
It’s true that Brendan has raised his voice in favor of Francis Ngannou, but he isn’t the only public figure to do it. Just like the American podcaster, many boxing and MMA stars have also shared their support for the 6-foot-4 fighter.
Conor McGregor, Gilbert Burns, Nate Diaz, are some of the most notable names from the MMA community to share their support for the Cameroonian fighter. Moreover, boxing artists such as Roberto Duran, and Chris Eubank Jr., also believe that Ngannou was the winner.

Just like these public figures, most of the people in the audience also believed that Francis would be the winner, but it didn’t happen. The final scorecard was in Fury’s favor by a split decision (94-95, 96-93, 95-94). Due to the controversial decision, many claim that it was a robbery. Do you think so? Let us know in the comments.
