Francis Ngannou reacts to 'illegal elbow' from Tyson Fury on social media

Francis Ngannou is feeling frustrated after losing to Tyson Fury via a split decision on Saturday night. 

The former UFC champion caught everyone by surprise in Saudi Arabia with his performance and even knocked down the WBC world heavyweight champion in the third round. 

However, this was not enough for Ngannou with Fury being declared the winner on two of the three judges' scorecards.

Taking to social media a few days after the fight, Ngannou claimed that everyone involved in the contest was against him and even cited an illegal elbow which Fury managed to land in the sixth round. 

"Last Saturday I was a lion fighting a pack of hyenas - Tyson Fury, the referee for allowing an illegal elbow, and the judges for their score cards," Ngannou wrote on X.

Despite the loss, Ngannou has quickly become one of the biggest names in boxing's heavyweight division and is now linked with fights against two former world champions, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.
