It makes for controversial reading

The official judges’ scorecards for Tyson Fury’s controversial victory against Francis Ngannou have officially been released.

Fury defeat Ngannou via split decision but didn’t have it all his own way after being knocked down by the former UFC star in the third round with a sweet left hook shot.

The Gypsy King struggled to find his rhythm at times and didn’t look like his usual self against a fighter who was competing in a professional boxing bout for the first time in his career.

Many felt that the decision to award Fury the win was a controversial decision and after the release of the official judges’ scorecards, fans are left even more baffled, with mixed views on how the bout went.

One fan said: “Guy on the left need to be investigated.”

Another wrote: “I had it 97-92 Fury. I thought the scorecards were generally a tad generous to Ngannou. Fury definitely won, although Ngannou put up a variant effort and really surprised me.

“ROBBERY,” said a third.

A fourth posted: “Yellow and Pink judges got well paid by Fury.”
