Fans have been left unimpressed with the heavyweight rankings after Francis Ngannou lost his boxing debut to Tyson Fury
The former UFC heavyweight champion, who made his boxing debut against Fury in Saudi Arabia last weekend, has been ranked as the 590th best heavyweight boxer out of 1422 active fighters, following an impressive professional debut. The decision has sparked controversy among fans.
"Francis is a top 10 heavyweight boxer minimum after that if not more cos he legit dropped Fury and arguably won," a third added. While a fourth remarked: "I would have agreed if they put him inside the top 50 but no way at the 500 mark."READ MORE: Tommy Fury agrees next fight and says 'it would be an honour' to clash with opponent
"I'm going to fight sometime in February or March," Ngannou told ESPN. "Maybe in the cage or in the ring, but I'm going to fight. I already basically have both, and we are working on what's going to work better. I came here to win, but I'm going back without that victory, which is not what I was looking for.
