Speaking to DAZN the Matchroom promoter said:
“You have one guy who never boxed before and another who looked like he never boxed before.”
“A complete novice, in everyone’s view, beat Tyson Fury. Ngannou won that fight. He just beat the lineal heavyweight champion, as crazy as that sounds to say.”
“Forget Fury-Usyk; Ngannou just beat him.”
“You got to give the rematch or let AJ end Fury’s career. Six rounds is all we need there.
“If Fury has to fight Usyk, we’ll fight Ngannou. All we need are three rounds.
