Speaking to Donald Trump Jr., he said: "The fact that he went 10 rounds with Tyson Fury is crazy. He just went 10 rounds with Tyson Fury, Conor [McGregor] made it 9 or 10 with Floyd, Anthony Pettis just beat Roy Jones Jr. - I know Roy is friggin’ 60 years old or whatever, but I don’t know what the hell is going on. It’s crazy.
"I didn’t see the fight, but the fact that he went 10 rounds is unbelievable."
Ngannou's bout against Fury was his first contest since his UFC departure.
He walked away from the MMA promotion as the UFC heavyweight champion following his victory over Ciryl Gane.
The 37-year-old penned a deal with PFL, which allowed him to box Fury.
He wants to run it back with the unbeaten British star but has also talked up a 'mixed rules' clash with Deontay Wilder.
A second meeting with Fury could be tricky to book as Oleksandr Usyk is in line for an undisputed showdown.
Who will Ngannou face next? Stay tuned.
