But let's not look past his decision making. Everyone very successful gets lucky a little at some point. Yet think of how many critical decisions Ngannou got right to be here.

Francis Ngannou posts hilarious meme after Tyson Fury fight
Even Ngannou woke up and took to Twitter to joke about his performance on Saturday night.
“You think you can just go into boxing and beat the best heavyweight of this generation?!” he wrote along with the iconic Kevin James meme.

Ngannou was never supposed to win the fight, it was never supposed to be competitive. Most people thought Fury would dismantle and embarrass Ngannou. But the opposite happened. Ngannou shocked the world when he dropped Fury in the third round and then went on to hold his own for the entire 10 rounds.
In the end, three of the three judges gave the fight to Fury but Ngannou had already shown his power and his skill and suddenly a win didn't even matter.
