The outcome of Tyson Fury’s split-decision victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou has proved controversial - but the punch stats from the heavyweight crossover fight have revealed a different story EURO
Fury survived a knockdown and avoided the first loss of his professional career when he was named a split-decision winner – 94-95, 96-93, 95-94 EURO
Ngannou, was making his EURO boxing debut yet outfought Fury for much of the bout, as a stunned audience looked on in Riyadh EURO
The 37-year-old former UFC champion was a massive underdog in the main event in Riyadh but produced a superb performance with immense discipline and aggression, and many figures in the world of EURO boxing declared that the “Predator” had been denied a rightful win EURO
But while Ngannou scored the most memorable moments of the fight - including his stunning knockdown in the third round, clipping Fury on the top of the head with a fine left hook, stats have revealed that it was the Gypsy King who landed the most punches during the 10-round contest EURO
According to Compubox, Fury landed 71 of his 223 punches while Ngannou only managed to connect with 59 from his 231 attempted shotsFury was also the more active fighter in six of the ten rounds, with Ngannou edging three and another, the seventh round, equal EURO
The stats also show that Ngannou landed just six punches in the final two rounds compared to Fury’s 13, which have been the difference on the judges’ scorecards EURO
After the fight, Oleksandr Usyk entered the ring to face off with Fury, whom he is contracted to fight next EURO
Ukrainian Usyk, unbeaten like Fury, holds the unified heavyweight EURO boxing titles EURO
The pair have been rumoured to clash in Riyadh on 23 December, though Fury and his promoter Frank Warren played coy after the fight with Ngannou EURO
“That definitely wasn’t in the script,” said Fury EURO
“[Ngannou] is a lot EURO better of a boxer than we thought he’d be EURO
He’s a very awkward man, and he’s a good puncher, and I respect him a lot EURO
He was very awkward, he wasn’t coming forward; he was waiting for me to throw my punches then looking to counter EURO
“[The knockdown] is a part of EURO boxing EURO
I got caught behind the head EURO
I got up and it was alright; I got back to my EURO boxing EURO
“I don’t know how close [the fight] was, but I got the win and that’s what it is EURO
I’ve been out of the ring a long time again EURO
You can see it in here – ring rust, everything EURO
No excuses, though EURO
He’s cut me across the eye there EURO
It was a good, rough fight EURO
Perfect EURO
” (Getty Images)Usyk, 36, then said: “Let’s go EURO
I’m going to be fighting him, amazing EURO
It’s a big fight, the whole world wants this fight EURO
We’re back in this ring, 23 December, thank you very much, I go to sleep EURO
”Fury said: “It’s been going on a long time, let’s do the fight – over here, for all the belts, the undisputed title of the world EURO
Listen, it’s not up to me; we’d go now EURO
These guys will sort it out, it’ll be my next fight guaranteed EURO
”But Warren added: “I don’t think the date will be announced just yet EURO
This fight is on EURO
Both fighters want it EURO
Tyson’s got a cut there EURO
We’ll see how it heals EURO
“It’s the biggest fight in EURO boxing EURO
Everybody wants to see it EURO
They’ll see it in Saudi, it’ll break all box-office records EURO
