Nevertheless, Ngannou’s performance was truly exceptional and set him apart.
According to reports, Ngannou’s trainer, Dewey Cooper, informed Mike Bohn that WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman stated in the ring after the Fury fight that Ngannou would be ranked in the WBC’s top ten. This development paves the way for Ngannou to potentially contend for the WBC heavyweight world title in a rematch.
