Months after the fight that shocked some martial arts lovers, Tyson Fury pinned Francis Ngannou. After struggling in the confrontation against the former UFC fighter, the world champion in the 'noble art' changed his tone and needled the French-Cameroonian. The Englishman speaks of gratitude and responsibility for having increased the 'giant's' fame.
“I don’t know what people expected before our fight. I know they think he had a one in a thousand chance, that he was useless, but he proved them wrong. So, good for him. I put him on the map. I made him a multimillionaire, and now he's making even more money. So he needs to thank me. To kneel and kiss my feet for what I did for him”, said Fury, in an interview with 'The Stomping Ground'.
