"Got a little bit greedy" - Tyson Fury describes being knocked down by Francis Ngannou as he takes the blame for his performance

Boxing star Tyson Fury has reflected on the knockdown he suffered at the hands of former UFC champion Francis Ngannou on October 28.

'The Gypsy King' recently sat down for an interview with iFL TV, during which he spoke about his recent boxing match against Ngannou.

Fury broke down the sequence of events that led to his knockdown in the fight and shared that only he was to blame for what happened in the right. The 35-year-old added that he's now looking forward to his clash against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title:

"I didn't remember anything. I just got a little bit greedy. I hit him with a one-two down the pipe clean and I went and jumped back in for another one-two and he got me on the way out. That was it. There's [no one] to blame, blame me. There's no 'blame the trainer' or 'blame the manager', 'blame the cutman', blame me if you're gonna blame anybody. It was what it was. It's the fight game, it's not tap dancing. You go in there, you have a fight and that's it, you get out of there, you get paid. The good thing is I've got paid, I'm going home to my family and we go on to the next undisputed fight. So, happy days," said Tyson Fury.
