FRANCIS NGANNOU<\/span> has revealed his stance on potentially appealing his narrow defeat to Tyson Fury<\/span>.<\/p>\n The former UFC heavyweight champion shocked the world last weekend by going the distance with the undefeated Fury in his professional boxing debut.<\/p>\n Ngannou, 37, suffered a narrow split decision defeat to the WBC king, who he DROPPED<\/strong> in the third round of the Riyadh Rumble.<\/p>\n The Predator believes he deserved to have his hand raised, although he won't bother appealing the hotly-debated result of the Riyadh Rumble.<\/p>\n He told TMZ: "Who am I gonna appeal to? [The British Boxing Commission]?<\/p>\n "I have no chance. I think that's just another way of humiliation."<\/p>\n MMA man-mountain Ngannou has the world at his feet following his unexpected but virtuoso display against the WBC heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n And a second showdown with The Gypsy King is top of the Professional Fighters League pounder's wishlist.<\/p>\n He said: "The rematch is what I want next<\/span> the most.<\/p>\n "As for right now, I feel like there is a lot of options for me.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "But I want to choose wisely, and I would go for the rematch first."<\/p>\n Fury has the small matter of a historic undisputed heavyweight title fight with former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk before he can think about putting a definitive ending on his story with Ngannou.<\/p>\n And Ngannou is seemingly content to sit on the sidelines and wait for the February unification fight to play out before deciding his next<\/span> move.<\/p>\n The pride<\/span> of Cameroon<\/span> said: "My best scenario in boxing is to wait for Fury.<\/p>\n "If Usyk can step out and let me fight Fury, I'll fight Fury, then I'll let them do whatever they do.<\/p>\n "I'll go back, maybe do some MMA fight and come back with some people in boxing.<\/p>\n "I'm planning to fight potentially twice next<\/span> year, [starting] maybe February or March."<\/p>\n
