The &#8216;Gypsy King&#8217; would triumph on a split decision as his opponent defied the odds to take the fight the distance.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the British fighter having walked away from Boulevard Hall with his undefeated record still intact, it is clear that his namesake Tyson felt he was fortunate.The Manchester-born star&#8217;s victory would not exactly come with the approval of Tyson who was watching ringside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fury was knocked down by Ngannou in Round 3 of the 10-round heavyweight fight. Despite being down early in the contest in Riyadh, Fury eventually came out on top in a bout that proved far more of a contest than he could have bargained for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked by a reporter whether he felt Ngannou was unlucky to have not won, he would remain coy, with a snarling retort as he fired back with: &#8220;How did you score it,&#8221; to which the reporter revealed: &#8220;I thought Francis won.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Follow us on X<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<em><strong>for the best and latest in sports news<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou scorecards in full as ex-UFC star &#8216;robbed'[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tyson Fury makes Francis Ngannou admission as UFC star shows class with response[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Fury vs Ngannou crowd spark debate with Cristiano Ronaldo reaction[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He rejected the notion that the Cameroonian was &#8216;robbed&#8217; following the split decision via scores of 94-95, 96-93, 95-94. Tyson clearly felt that Fury was the worse fighter on the night, adding: &#8220;No, it wasn&#8217;t a robbery. But everyone knows the outcome.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the defeated Ngannou, there was no doubting his buoyant attitude despite losing in his first ever professional boxing bout. It appeared that the UFC heavyweight champion&#8217;s determination is to make a success of his transition to boxing despite the defeat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m feeling great, I&#8217;m feeling fantastic. I&#8217;m really happy,&#8221; he revealed. &#8220;I might be wounded but I&#8217;m not beaten today &#8211; I can bite.

This was my first boxing match, great experience. There&#8217;s no excuse, I know I came up short.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After more than matching Fury throughout the ten rounds in Saudi Arabia, it was obvious that he felt that he had a lot more to give in the aftermath. He added: &#8220;I&#8217;m going to go back and work harder with a little bit of experience this time, a little more feeling of the game and I&#8217;ll come back stronger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At first I was a little nervous about this new sport that I never did.
