Fans expressed their feelings in the comments area after being equally as impressed as Tyson was. Fans reacted to the post showing their support for Ngannou:

Iron Mike, impressed by how you are a natural teacher. Ngannou may have a chance, depending on how he executes your skills. From what I’ve seen, he soaks up and executes pretty darn fast.

Fury will dance around him

I normally would of said fury as well, but he has one of the top 3 greats ever to box teaching him. That makes me think fury might lose.

I really appreciate someone like Mike Tyson. ❤️😎

It’s obvious he’s been through a lot in his life while fighting his own personal demons. In the end he’s grown and has become a better person.

He definitely seems to be a deep thinker and I believe he hit a moment where his…

He needs to use a 6'9" pad man.
Tyson is still the greatest, I hope Francis is paying attention.
It's so great Mike is training him, what an honor.

"i don't care if you're tired everything you got" could've never imagined anyone making Mike hungry enough to train

Fury is almost certainly going to win but I thought this video was really cool

Knowing how to box won’t be enough against Tyson Fury but I look forward to this fight anyways

While previously stating that Ngannou’s legendary strength provides him a chance at the upset, Tyson added here that he has been impressed by Ngannou in their training thus far. Tyson is currently assisting Ngannou in getting ready for Fury.

While “The Predator” still has his sights set on the upset and thinks Tyson is the one to help him pull it off, Tyson is now convinced that Ngannou can at least give a solid accounting of himself in the ring.
