I feel it’s the wrong decision but am I surprised? Not one bit. Half expected it tbh.

I’ve watched a lot of Ngannou over the years and how competitive he was with Fury was great to see, I reckon he lands a massive meat hook on AJ, who doesn’t have the best chin, and puts him away.

I have to admit that I had never heard of Ngannou until he fought an out of shape Tyson Fury. Looked to me that Fury didn't put an awful lot of effort into training for that fight, was complacent and nearly paid the price.

AJ looked very good in his last fight, but we shall see...

All true, but from the Ngannou perspective, that was Ngannous boxing debut, he has never fought under those rules before and looked great, he has had 6 months to get better as a beginner and has also talked about his nervousness of the unknown in the Fury fight, he’s a lot more confident about going 10 rounds in boxing rules now.

He didn't look out of place at all against Fury and is a beast of a man. AJ is in for a tough fight.

He boxed before he fought in MMA, seeing the boxing fraternity talk about Ngannou is pretty funny tbh and shows how insular the sport is.

Between the supposed best heavyweights doing exhibitions for the Saudis and Jake Paul's 'fights' it has exposed boxing as the side show it really is. I'd suggest fans of an actual genuine scrap should watch MMA.

I met Ngannou at a M4TC event (in Sunderland) in what must have been 2013, I assume he was involved in cornering a French fighter and was informally approached to fight a local fighter called James Mulheron on a future event, shame it never came to fruition.
