Former UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou "deserved to be ranked by the WBC" after he was denied an incredible upset win against Tyson Fury, according to president Mauricio Sulaiman.

Sulaiman, confirmed: "What I personally witnessed last night is a solid boxer, who deserves to be ranked by the WBC and I will make such recommendations to the ratings committee."

It would mean Ngannou will be ranked above the likes of Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois.
