Frank Warren slams social media trolls labelling Tyson Fury's win over Francis Ngannou a robbery - as he confirms the Gypsy King's undisputed world heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk will hap

Daily Mail  

Frank Warren has rounded on the social media trolls calling Tyson Fury’s unexpectedly close victory over UFC legend Francis Ngannou a robbery, while confirming the Gypsy King’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed world heavyweight title will definitely happen in the new year back in Riyadh Fury’s promoter denounced speculation that Usyk would pull out unless the fight with Fury went ahead on the pre-set date of December 23, or that Saudi Arabia would withdraw their financial backing because his man had a bizarre off night not long before the sun rose over the Arabian desert on Sunday morning. Fran Warren slammed those calling Tyson Fury's tight win over Francis Ngannou a robbery Tyson Fury won his showdown with Francis Ngannou by split decision in Riyadh last week Ngannou managed to knock Fury down after a run of blistering rounds - but the Gypsy King recovered nicely We did expect that Tyson would work him out in the first two or three rounds and go on to win but the knock-down changed the fight. Between Tyson being off a bit off and having to fall back on his grit and courage and Francis turning out to be a really good boxer despite this being his first boxing match they gave us all a great fight to watch, ‘All the people in the arena loved every minute. Absolutely.’ As to whether Fury, at 35, can recharge his mojo Warren says: ‘One of his biggest problems against Ngannou was that even though Tyson trained hard for this one – oh yes he did – there was no evidence to watch to enable him to prepare for Francis simply because this was his boxing debut.’ 'Who the hell knew he would turn out to be good counter-puncher?
