And things worsened for the Gypsy King in round three as a counter left hook FLOORED the undefeated champion.

Fans were left totally in disbelief after Fury tasted the canvas against the boxing debutant.

One said: “That is crazy!”

Another added: “The punch so perfect.”

One said: “Ngannou is here to shock the world.”

Jake Paul posted: “WTF!!! FRANCIS!!”

Ngannou, 37, went on to put on the performance of his life as he took Fury, 35, the ten round distance.

He landed several flush shots on the British boxing legend and had him hurt on occasions.

But controversy struck on the scorecards as Fury edged out a split-decision.

One judge scored it Ngannou’s favour but the deciding two went the way of Fury.

It keeps Fury’s undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk alive but fans slammed the “robbery” decision online.

One fumed: “Wow. An absolute robbery to give that to Fury.”

Another raged: “FRANCIS NGANNOU HAS BEEN ROBBED.”
