WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury beat Francis Ngannou in a controversial split decision in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Francis Ngannou, 37, had put Tyson Fury on the canvas in round three after connecting with a left hook.
But while one judge scored it 95-94 in favour of Ngannou, two gave it to Fury at 96-93 and 95-94.
Fury’s WBC heavyweight belt was not on the line.
Fury, who improved to 30-0-1 with 21 knockouts, said he would now like to fight Deontay Wilder for a third time.
Ngannou, who was fighting for the first time since losing to Stipe Miocic in August 2018, fell to 15-3 with 12 knockouts.
