Tyson Fury’s Bold Claim before Ngannou Fight Comes Back To Haunt Them as Fans Joke ‘Certainly Looked like He Had’

The Pre-Fight Claim

Tyson Fury's audacious pre-fight claim before his showdown with Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia has almost come back to haunt him. The Gypsy King, who locked horns with the former UFC heavyweight champion last Saturday, made a bold statement ahead of the fight.

The Confidence

Fury, 35, exuded confidence before the ten-round match, even going as far as saying he could win the fight after consuming "25 pints". However, his claim did not age well after what transpired in the ring.

The Outcome

Fury was knocked down in the third round and barely managed to secure a decision victory over the boxing novice. His boastful statement resurfaced on social media following the fight, with fans joking about the irony of the situation.

Fan Reactions

One fan quipped, "He must've had 50 pints on Saturday night." Another joked, "Maybe he had 26 pints the night before." Several fans remarked that Fury's claim did not hold up after watching the fight.

The Response

Fury's next opponent, Oleksandr Usyk, is set for an undisputed heavyweight title fight. Despite the less than impressive performance against Ngannou, Fury offered no excuses and praised his opponent's skills. Ngannou, on the other hand, expressed his desire for a rematch, promising to come back stronger with more experience in the boxing world.
