Tyson Fury Survives hard knock down to claim controversial win against Nigerian Nightmare Francis Ngonnu

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claimed a controversial split decision victory over former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.

Ngannou, 37, put Fury on the canvas in round three after connecting with a left hook.

But while one judge scored it 95-94 in favour of Ngannou, two gave it to Fury at 96-93 and 95-94. Fury's WBC heavyweight belt was not on the line.
