Ngannou vs Fury: Mike Tyson referee: Francis Ngannou is looking to step into the boxing world after his UFC exit and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has claimed to welcome him in case the undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk falls off. Fury and Ngannou met each other in-ring after the Briton’s KO win over Dillian Whyte in Wembley. Follow UFC News Updates with InsideSport.IN.
They verbally agreed to fight, but Francis Ngannou was still under his UFC contract back then and was holding the heavyweight title. Now that ‘The Predator’ has vacated his belt, Fury has announced his desired rule set for the potential super-fight against Francis Ngannou.
In a chat with Seconds Out, the undefeated boxing champion said, “Francis Ngannou, I know you are out of contract with the UFC. You want to run some big boy money? Come see the Gypsy King and let’s do a big big fight for the baddest MF on the planet and let’s kick it up spicy. In a cage, 4 oz gloves, on the Queensberry and let’s have a bada** referre like ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.”
Francis Ngannou is undoubtedly one of the scariest knockout punchers on the planet. However, Tyson Fury has faced several of them and has beaten everyone on his way. In a boxing affair, he remains one of the best to ever do it. It’s hard to imagine Francis Ngannou vanquishing ‘The Gypsy King’ in a boxing match unless done in reality.
