Time to talk about Fury's willingness to face Usyk and what's next for Ngannou. Fury trained at McDonald's in this fight so I still doubt Ngannou can beat any of the top 20 in boxing. Derek Chisora is Ngannou's easiest fight that is also marketable but the former is most likely to win if given proper time to train and isn't paid to take a dive.
Why not go directly against popular heavyweight boxers like Joshua and Wilder, for instance? I mean, if Ngannou almost beat Fury, I'm sure he can compete well against boxers who have a lower ranking compared to Fury. However, if what you stated is true that Fury trained at McDonald's in that certain fight, then I guess Ngannou was just overrated.
Pretty sure Ngannou will only look for the next biggest offer. A lot of promoters are negotiating. Promoters are racing who gets him first. It seems like they are looking at Ngannou as easy money for their fighters.
But I like Ngannou countering Wilder by saying that he will fight him if they have a 2-fight contract, 1 in boxing and the other 1 in MMA. I can only hope that there are willing sponsors for an MMA fight, otherwise, Ngannou will be forced to only box Wilder. But there's also AJ and the potential Usyk-Fury winner.
That's not gonna happen, and besides, if they'll fight in boxing, they will make way bigger money compared to what they'll make in UFC. a 2 fight contract is okay though, but it should be both in boxing, that way they'll increse their income especially if the first fight is a close one.We'll see, maybe Saudi or a group of investors are willing to shed money for an MMA fight. And Wilder actually said that he is thinking of fighting in MMA.
So far Ngannou is planning to make his PFL debut and then back into boxing. He really wants a Fury rematch even sending a message requesting Usyk to step aside. I doubt the Ukrainian will even care to respond though, Ngannou is a just nuisance to him.
He should focus in boxing as that's where he'll make a lot of money, and he has to be patient though, Usyk won't step aside as he'll also make a lot of money with his unification fight with Fury.
Absolutely, there is no way Usyk gives in. I can't even see any posts or interviews of him responding to Ngannou's request to step aside. As for Ngannou, he's got a contract with PFL. Maybe he'll just cherry-pick a weak opponent to make sure his hype won't fade.
The scorecard that has to be the most dubious is the one that scored 96/93 in favour of Fury.
I reviewed the scorecards again based only on the second and the third judge. Out of the 10 rounds, they only disagreed 3 times, in rounds 1, 4, and 7 which means these rounds were somewhat close and difficult to score. They both gave Fury rounds 2, 5, 6 and 9. Ngannou got 3, 8 and 10. So if in case these two judges gave all the disputed rounds to Fury, it'll be 96-93 in favor of the champion.
