Eminem & Mike Tyson Lose Their Minds Over Francis Ngannou’s “Superman Punch” on Tyson Fury
Mike Tyson dropped a bombshell piece of advice during the intense clash between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. The advice? A jaw-dropping ‘superman punch,’ a move straight out of MMA’s playbook. The fans couldn’t get enough of it.
Saturday night’s showdown in Riyadh delivered a split decision victory for Tyson Fury over Ngannou, and the outcome was nothing short of controversial. With Tyson Fury struggling against the resilient Ngannou, the Cameroonian MMA legend brought something special to the ring.
In the third round, Ngannou sent shockwaves through the arena by flooring Fury, proving that he was no stranger to the boxing world. But it was in the 10th round that he truly became the star of the show. As the clock ticked down, Ngannou executed a daring ‘superman’ punch, a move widely celebrated in MMA but strictly against the rules in boxing.
Fans erupted in joy as Ngannou, with all his might, leaped into the air, left hand jabbing forward, before attempting to land a devastating right hook on Fury’s head. It was a moment that sent the crowd into a frenzy, and social media was abuzz with excitement.
One ecstatic fan exclaimed, “He said one time for the MMA community!” Another fan chimed in with, “LOL, this s*** had me dead. If he knocked him out with it, I’d die!” The atmosphere was electric as fans appreciated Ngannou’s audacity in the ring, and they lauded him as a true winner, no matter the outcome.
But what added an intriguing twist to the moment was the presence of the former boxing champ, Mike Tyson, at ringside. In a video captured as Ngannou attempted the ‘superman punch,’ Tyson was seen voicing his encouragement for the daring move. “Superman punch! I told him to use it,” Tyson declared, leaving fans in awe.
Tyson’s influence was hardly surprising, considering his storied career in the boxing ring. Ngannou, who entered the ring as an underdog, could undoubtedly feel hard done by after Fury secured a split-decision victory. One judge scored it 95-94 in Ngannou’s favor, while the other two tallies read 95-94 and 96-93 in favor of Fury. The outcome may have left Fury with the belt, but it surely felt like a hollow victory, given the fierce challenge he faced.
In the lead-up to the unifying heavyweight clash between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which promises to be a spectacle of its own, Usyk stepped into the ring post-fight. But Fury, with a swollen eye and a dazed expression, did not appear to be at his best. His promoter, Frank Warren, has since hinted at the possibility of the fight happening in December, adding another layer of intrigue to the heavyweight division.
As the boxing world watches in anticipation, Francis Ngannou’s audacious ‘superman punch’ moment will forever be etched in the annals of boxing history. Mike Tyson’s advice added an unexpected thrill to an already exhilarating bout, leaving fans worldwide hungry for more action in the world of boxing.
Francis Ngannou firmly stands by his belief that he defeated Tyson Fury in their thrilling showdown on Saturday, despite Fury securing a contentious split decision victory. Ngannou’s confidence, however, wasn’t shaken, as he unveiled a fiery exchange that occurred between the two fighters in the ring.
During a post-fight chat on his YouTube channel, Ngannou disclosed what transpired between him and Fury during their pre-fight face-off. He revealed, “When we touched gloves, he’s, like, ‘Let me take you to school.’ I’m, like, ‘You motherfr, you are not taking me to school.’ That’s why when I knocked him down I was dancing, like, ‘You’re a bad professor, motherfr. You’re a bad professor. How is that school going? Who is taking who to school?’”
Ngannou went on to express his confidence in the outcome of the fight, emphasizing that he wasn’t surprised by the decision and had anticipated it. He delved into the complexities of the boxing world, describing it as a “sh*tty” business.
Ngannou, who transitioned from another sport to boxing, highlighted the structural and business aspects of the sport, stating, “Imagine if I would have walked out of there with him being defeated for the first time. How would that look for them? How would that look for all the people associated with this business? I knew this wasn’t going to happen. But I think it’s a shame for boxing. Judges or whoever, they should be sanctioned.”
His critique extended to the judges, asserting that their decisions not only affect individual careers but also the overall integrity of the sport. Ngannou was relentless in his pursuit of justice, stating, “I don’t care whatever anybody says or what they do here, I’m just going to kick into that nest and expose that sh*t.”
Reflecting on his performance, Ngannou expressed personal satisfaction, regardless of the outcome. He believed that he stood toe-to-toe with the world’s number one boxer in his debut fight and, in his opinion, emerged victorious.
Ngannou’s knockout of Fury, a defensive hook that sent Fury to the canvas, was discussed along with his success in nullifying Fury’s clinching attempts. He also addressed the controversial “superman punch” he attempted in the match, claiming it was not illegal, just unconventional.
Regarding the future, Ngannou remains open to various options, including a rematch with Fury. He also mentioned the possibility of competing in the PFL before returning to boxing. His confidence in his boxing abilities has been reaffirmed, making him even more excited about his prospects in the sport.
