Tyson Fury narrowly defeated Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last weekend.
Fury won the fight via a close split-decision victory but Ngannou certainly won the plaudits of both the boxing and MMA communities.
In a fight that he started as a huge underdog Ngannou nearly pulled off the biggest shock in combat sports history but fell just short of having his hand raised.
Speaking to TNT Sports Fury admitted a future rematch with the former UFC champion could be on the cards but said he didn’t take him lightly.
“No, he was what I thought he would be. I thought he would have a puncher’s chance like the rest of them.” Said Fury.
He continued: “Listen, he was a good fighter and we’ll probably have a rematch down the line somewhere. Who’d have thought it?”
Do you think a rematch will happen?
