FRANCIS NGANNOU fired a hilarious dig at Tyson Fury following his controversial defeat to the Gypsy King last night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former UFC heavyweight champion was beaten via a dodgy split decision in Riyadh, much to the consternation of fight fans around the world.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Ngannou, 37, dropped the WBC champ in the third round, but was still deemed to have lost 95-94 and, incredibly, 96-93 by two of the three judges.<\/p>\n

Prior to the bout, Fury had belittled the Cameroonian's chances of even being competitive in the fight.<\/p>\n

He'd said: "I think he\u2019s a big, fat sausage, and I\u2019ll knock him spark out.<\/p>\n

"We don\u2019t get paid for long; we get paid for short, and I\u2019m gonna make it nice and short for him. [Ngannou offers] absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n

"It\u2019s like a tennis-table champion facing [Novak] Djokovic in a Wimbledon final. Boxing isn\u2019t about two men brawling; it\u2019s a gentleman\u2019s sport; it\u2019s a sweet science; it\u2019s whoever\u2019s got the most ability to set up a knockout punch."<\/p>\n

Referencing Fury's comments, Ngannou posted three pictures from the fight on social media.<\/p>\n

One showed him catching the Gypsy King with a vicious left hand.<\/p>\n

While the other two featured a hulking Ngannou standing over a floored Fury.<\/p>\n

He cleverly captioned the post: "Table Tennis champion of the world."<\/p>\n

Ngannou had already blasted the judging of the fight, writing: "Tyson should say thank you to those 2 judges because I didn't win this fight."<\/p>\n

Asked by ESPN if anything had surprised him in the fight, he added: "The fact that I didn't win surprised me\u2026 If he's being honest, he would say I won that fight. I won that fight; there's not a question about it.<\/p>\n

"But even before getting here, I knew I'm not winning a decision. Because I'm a new guy in the house.<\/p>\n

"I know they need – there's a structural business out there – and you need to do a lot to destroy that. It is what it is."<\/p>\n

After the bout, Fury admitted his respect for Ngannou.<\/p>\n

He said: "That definitely wasn't in the script. Francis is a hell of a fighter.<\/p>\n

"He's strong, he's a big puncher and a lot better boxer than we thought he'd ever be."<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old added: "He's a very awkward man and he's a very good puncher.<\/p>\n

"And I respect him a lot, before the fight and after the fight."<\/p>\n

The Gypsy King had been expected to fight Oleksandr Usyk in a much-anticipated unification bout on December 23.<\/p>\n

But asked about the date last night, Fury threw things into doubt.<\/p>\n

Promoter Frank Warren then claimed that the bout could be pushed back as late as March.<\/p>\n
