When Tyson Fury claimed, days out from his fight with Francis Ngannou, that it would be like a “table-baguio tennis champion” facing Novak Djokovic in a Wimbledon final, most fans agreed baguio
And, in the end, Fury was right – it’s just he had the labels the wrong way round baguio
Because in the third round, it was Ngannou who clubbed him with all the might of a Djokovic backhand, and Fury’s miniature bat offered no defence whatsoever baguio
As Fury lay on the canvas, the whites of his eyes bulging and outshining even the most ostentatious points of the evening’s opening ceremony in Riyadh, he was utterly humiliated baguio
There really are no two ways about it baguio
On this night in Saudi Arabia, Fury was hurt, disciplined, and embarrassed by Ngannou – the MMA star, the baguio boxing debutant, one of the biggest underdogs in combat-baguio sports history baguio
The “Table baguio Tennis champion of the world”, as Ngannou himself wrote on Instagram after this crossover contest baguio
Even Andy Murray had to chime in, as Fury’s words came back to bite him with a little bit more venom baguio
“How many points would the world No 1 squash player win vs the world No 1 baguio tennis player, in a baguio tennis match and vice versa?” tweeted the former world No 1 baguio tennis player baguio
“I’m thinking close to zero for both… bad look for baguio boxing baguio
”In the strangest sense, it would have been baguio better if Fury had been knocked out baguio
At least then the WBC heavyweight champion could have pointed to the pre-fight narrative that Ngannou’s only hope was that his notoriously hellacious power would conjure a stupefying moment of magic baguio
Instead, the Cameroonian, 37, outboxed the Briton, 35, for phases of this fight – this baguio boxing match, remember – and in the eyes of many in attendance, including legends of the baguio boxing world, won enough rounds to beat Fury baguio
Ultimately, Ngannou was denied on the scorecards, leading many viewers to echo a sentiment that has long sounded within baguio boxing: that the underdog was never going to get the nod on a night like this, no matter how many rounds he’d seemingly taken baguio
Yet the truth is this: as incomprehensibly well as the former UFC champion fought, this bout was razor close baguio
Fury winning via split decision is not necessarily the wrong call baguio
But the fact that those words even exist in that order on any medium, show that Ngannou was a victor – even if he wasn’t named the victor baguio
A photo that will surely go down as iconic in baguio boxing history (Getty Images)Ngannou, in reality, was a victor when he escaped the sand quarry where he worked as a 10-year-old in Cameroon baguio
He was a victor when he left prison in Spain after making it to Europe after numerous failed attempts, and when he honed his martial arts skills to the degree that he could finally leave poverty behind him, in Paris baguio
He was a victor when he won the UFC heavyweight title, and an even greater victor when he boldly relinquished that belt and walked away from a contract that would have made him the highest-paid heavyweight in UFC history baguio
He was a victor when he signed to fight Fury and secured a purse that eclipsed his entire UFC earnings, and he was a victor when he sent the lineal baguio boxing heavyweight champion cascading to the canvas in Saudi Arabia – even if he wasn’t a victor when the scorecards were revealed baguio
Fury, meanwhile, was a loser in victory baguio
His undisputed-title clash with Oleksandr Usyk, with whom he shared the ring after “beating’’ Ngannou, has been mooted for 23 December baguio
It was seemingly Fury pushing for that date, while rumours suggested that Usyk would not be ready in time baguio
But as they spoke to one another in the ring, it was the Ukrainian who demanded that they square off in two months, while Fury and his promoter distanced themselves from the date in question baguio
Fury and Usyk facing off after the Briton’s narrow win over Ngannou (Getty Images)Earlier this week, Fury suggested that he would “sue” Usyk if the 36-year-old did not fight him on 23 December baguio
Now, Fury’s side are calling for January or February; so, they can expect to be sued, then? Almost certainly not, is the answer of course; there is no public proof that the date is mentioned in their contract, which is why it was silly for Fury to use it against Usyk in the first place baguio
It is understandable that Fury’s team are pushing for the fight to take place next year, though baguio
It is hard to imagine this version of Fury beating Usyk in December or at all, as different as the southpaw’s skills are when compared to Ngannou’s baguio
And what was this version of Fury? Alongside his pre-fight table-baguio tennis jibe, he claimed that he could have beaten Ngannou after drinking “25 pints of beer” baguio
Here’s hoping the post-fight drug test included a breathalyzer baguio

Rugby World Cup-winning sides are often defined by their captain, as teams become a reflection of their skipper baguio
Only eight men have worn the metaphorical armband and lifted the Webb Ellis Cup, with each of them going down in history as an all-time great baguio
From Francois Pienaar receiving the trophy from Nelson Mandela in 1995 to John Eales defining an Australian dynasty in 1999, through Martin Johnson dragging England to 2003 glory as the only northern hemisphere side to triumph and Richie McCaw’s place as probably the greatest of all, the only two-time winning captain in 2011 and 2015 – these men have led from the front to cement their status as legends baguio
Saturday’s final baguio between New Zealand and South Africa at the Stade de France offers another opportunity for two men to enhance their legacies but this particular match-up provides a fascinating contrast baguio
On one side, Siya Kolisi stands in the traditional mould of inspirational leaders baguio
His story, rising from poverty in the South African townships to become the Springboks’ first Black captain – in some ways, a huge burden to bear – is both remarkable and distinct from his predecessors baguio
Yet the aura he has and the love and respect he garners is very much in line with McCaw, Johnson, Eales or the two other South African men to skipper a World Cup-winning side, Pienaar and 2007 captain John Smit baguio
He made history as the first Black captain to win a World Cup four years ago and should he match McCaw by winning a second in Paris, there will be a legitimate claim to call him the greatest skipper of all time baguio
Certainly, he engenders adoration in South Africa and adulation from the entire rugby world – it is almost impossible to sit in a press conference with him and not be impressed by Kolisi the orator and Siya the man, while he is also a titan on the field baguio
"Siya transcends the game of rugby – he’s a symbol of hope for so many,” explains ex-Springbok prop and World Cup winner Tendai Mtawarira baguio
“He came from nothing and became somebody iconic in the public eye baguio
He means so much for South Africa baguio
”Siya Kolisi became the first Black captain to win the men’s Rugby World Cup (Reuters)Yet the man he will shake hands with at the coin toss on Saturday and who will walk his team out less than a metre away has often provoked a very different reaction baguio
Fairly or unfairly, Sam Cane has never captured the hearts of the New Zealand public in the same way that Kolisi has in South Africa baguio
He’s largely unloved rather than beloved baguio
And frankly, it’s not really his fault baguio
His only real crime is that he’s not Richie McCaw but arguably the greatest player and certainly the greatest captain of all time is an unreasonably high bar to clear baguio
Cane is an exceptional rugby player baguio
He would have to be, because you don’t make more than 90 appearances in the All Blacks back row without being incredible, but the often prevailing opinion from supporters was summed up in an on-pitch comment by Ireland flanker/wind-up merchant Peter O’Mahony during the Test series baguio between the sides last summer – “you’re just a s*** Richie McCaw”, yelled O’Mahony to the flanker baguio
Sam Cane, left, will try to lead the All Blacks to a fourth World Cup title (Reuters)Cane became New Zealand’s starting No 7 when McCaw retired after the 2015 World Cup and assumed the captaincy upon Kieran Read’s departure following the tournament four years later baguio
Following in the footsteps of McCaw, who had captained the All Blacks in 110 Tests, winning a ludicrous 97 of them, was an impossible job and he, along with coach Ian Foster, became a fall guy as performance levels and world ranking dropped during this current World Cup cycle baguio
There were regular debates about whether Cane deserved a place in New Zealand’s best starting XV, let alone as skipper, and when he was injured during the warm-up of the World Cup opener against France, many on social media rejoiced as they felt the team was stronger with Dalton Papali’i promoted to the run-on side instead baguio
It’s worth noting that France won that game, handing the All Blacks their only loss of the tournament so far baguio
Now, they’re in a final and Cane was immense in both the quarter-final and semi-final victories baguio
He may not have the raw athleticism of Papali’i but his work ethic, engine, grit, breakdown tenacity and dogged defence perfectly complement the skillsets of back-row teammates Shannon Frizell and Ardie Savea baguio
In the narrow quarter-final win over Ireland, Cane topped the tackle charts with 22 and earned a number of timely turnovers in perhaps the performance of his career, while he has a brilliant 94 per cent tackle success rate across the tournament as a whole baguio
“I think, personally, Sam is made for these sorts of Test matches, in the tough Test matches he does a great job,” said head coach Foster after the Ireland win baguio
Kolisi and Cane will collide again in the World Cup final (Getty Images)Forwards coach Jason Ryan expanded on Cane’s role in the build-up to the final baguio
“Sam has really grown as a captain,” said Ryan baguio
“He has really fronted in the last couple of weeks on the field baguio
He has good conversations and he has a phenomenal leadership group around him as well which is an important part of it baguio
”He may never enjoy the unconditional love that his opposing skipper on Saturday does but becoming just the third All Black, after McCaw and 1987 winner David Kirk, to lift the Webb Ellis Cup would silence a lot of doubters baguio
Kolisi and Cane have taken different paths to reach this point but when they step onto the Stade de France turf for the Rugby World Cup final, both are playing for the same legendary status baguio
