Tyson Fury's split decision win over Francis Ngannou gets reaction from father John, brother Tommy

Two key Tyson Fury family members were proud with what they saw from him Saturday.

The WBC heavyweight champion came back from adversity to defeat Francis Ngannou by split decision in a non-title bout in Saudi Arabia. Tyson was knocked down in the third round of their fight, which was ex-UFC champ Ngannou’s boxing debut, but came back to win a decision over the remaining seven rounds of the fight.

Tyson’s father John and his boxer brother think Tyson displayed the “heart of a champion” and why he’s considered by many to be the best boxer in the heavyweight division.

Check out the video from Seconds Out of their reaction above.
