Both corners think their man has done the business. Ngannou's corner lift their man into the air.

Is Tyson Fury about to lose for the first time as a professional? The third round, the one in which Fury was knocked down, will be scored 10-8 Ngannou. Will that be the difference?

Now, the boxing world waits.

We go the distance.

To the judges we go.

What a performance from Francis Ngannou. He has taken the WBC world heavyweight champion the distance, this is Ngannou's first ever professional boxing match.

Ngannou jumps into a punch, but can't land.

Sixty seconds to go. Fury still looking for a game-changing punch.

"Francis, Francis," is the chant from those ringside. Ngannou two minutes to go.

Fury needs something good now. Not much in the first minute of the last round.

Into round 10, into the last round. Three minutes away from maybe the boxing shock of all time.

Francis Ngannou could be three minutes away from an absolute sensation.

Fury is bouncing around in the ninth, but Ngannou waits, knowing he does not need to take a risk and attack.

A quiet ninth, which is just want Ngannou would have wanted. Who had expected this?

We're going into the last round. If Ngannou stays out of trouble, surely he wins this.

Right, here's round nine. Fury needs something special to rescue this.

Francis Ngannou was the better fighter in that round and that's another one in the books for him. Tyson Fury having to dig deep. He's six minutes away from losing this.

Two rounds to go. Fury may need to knock his opponent down to have a chance of winning on points.

Ngannou proving the world wrong.

Ngannou with a lovely combination, both landing to the Fury head. And he's on the attack in the eighth again. Fury in trouble.

It's closed slightly because I gave round five and six to Fury, but seven to Ngannou. It looks like Francis is tiring, his mouth is wide open, but anytime Fury gets close, he's almost being manhandled. Francis is throwing him around like a ragdoll at times.

Tyson Fury has never lost in 34 fights and even the one he drew - the first with Deontay Wilder - he should've got the decision.

But, unbelievably, he is in danger of suffering the first loss of his professional career.

Nine minutes and three rounds for this one to turn around. Ngannou three rounds from becoming the first man to beat Fury.

Fury needs a big few rounds. The pair crash into each other in the seventh, with Fury falling over into the ropes, but definitely no punch and no count.

Another three minutes comes and goes with Fury not really putting Ngannou under any scenes of panic.

It's really incredible what we're seeing right now. There's no doubt he's slowing down and starting to get tired. If he wins a round and knocks Tyson down then he might have this wrapped up. Everything is falling apart for Tyson.

We're now into the seventh.

Ngannou again looks to attack, with Fury briefly bouncing off the ropes. The MMA man has not made many mistakes tonight, with Fury having to go through his full repertoire, trying to find the breakthrough.

But Ngannou is able to take some shots in the sixth. How will his energy levels last though? That's six gone, four rounds left.

One punch changes everything though so Ngannou will know this is nowhere near done.

Tyson finally found his rhythm in that round. He stayed at range. It was better boxing from Tyson Fury.
