Why a mismatch: Ngannou, though a renowned beast in the world of mixed martial arts, had not had a professional boxing match – at least not a sanctioned one – when he was pitted against the then-unbeaten Tyson Fury, the consensus choice as the best heavyweight in world with a lifetime of experience in the sport. So Ngannou, 0-0, versus Fury, 33-0-1, was widely derided and, before the opening bell, looked like one of the biggest mismatches in the history of boxing.
