Tyson Fury scored a razor-thin split-decision victory over Francis Ngannou in Riyadh on Saturday.
‘The Gypsy King’ struggled against the MMA fighter and was even knocked down in the third round before squeezing by his opponent on points.
It was all set for him to face Oleksandr Usyk on December 23rd but following the fight Frank Warren revealed that the bout will now be pushed into 2024.

Mike Tyson who was in Ngannou’s camp for the huge clash in Saudi Arabia shared his prediction on the undisputed clash between Fury and Usyk.
Tyson told TNT Sports: ‘He beats Usyk. He will beat him, yeah.’
On Ngannou’s display last Saturday night, Tyson added: ‘What did I tell you? It speaks for itself.
‘Listen, this was his first professional fight with the greatest heavyweight fighter who ever lived and he dropped him! And gave him life to life in there.’
How will a Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight play out? Let us know in the comments.
My hope is that Fury fights Usyk in December. Gets dropped again and finally calls it quits once and for all.
That’s what Fury deserves after lack of preparation/training and underestimating Ngannnu like he did.
