Tyson Fury made over $60 million to fight Francis Ngannou on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, so in no way did he come out of that fight as a loser, no matter how poorly the WBC/lineal heavyweight champion performed.
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA - OCTOBER 28: Tyson Fury drinks water after his fight with Francis Ngannou after the Heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou at Boulevard Hall on October 28, 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury fought more like the 2013 version of himself, when he struggled for much of the fight against Steve Cunningham and was dropped early, than the guy who in recent years scored a pair of knockouts of Deontay Wilder and skyrocketed on all the various pound-for-pound lists.
Clearly, Fury wasn't properly prepared and didn't have great motivation. And when Ngannou showed better than expected skills and the power that MMA people had warned Fury about, he didn't adjust well.
