The mega-fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou is scheduled to take place. However, a sizable portion of the boxing community has expressed anger against this contest. The expected undisputed fight between Oleksandr Usyk and “The Gipsy King” was expected. Not to add that both adversaries indicated that they were eager to engage one another. However, they were unable to complete their fight. The boxing community was shocked by this.
They still believed Fury would compete against another contender, though. Instead, the heavyweight champion chose to take on Ngannou, a fighter who has not yet competed in a boxing match. Despite this, Fury still feels as though he is under pressure.

Tyson Fury Has Signed The Biggest Deal In Boxing
Every boxer has a chance to land a blow, especially if you’re Francis Ngannou. Fury therefore believes that Ngannou has everything to gain and nothing to lose in light of the current situation’s stakes. He believes he has nothing to gain but everything to lose in the meantime.
The Gypsy King is now scheduled to face Francis Ngannou in his comeback to the ring the following month. Even though it was a historic fight that received a lot of attention, not all fans were in favour of it. Fury has been in contact with Oleksandr Usyk for the whole of this year.
With back-to-back victories against Anthony Joshua, “The Cat” won the heavyweight title, but he’s made it plain he’s not finished yet. After Fury’s knockout victory over Derek Chisora in December of last year, Usyk and Fury confronted each other, hinting to a potential fight.
It would have produced the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis if that matchup versus Usyk had taken place. However, Tyson Fury made the decision to face the aforementioned Ngannou. A lot of people are upset about missing out on the historic title unification.
Fury attacked his detractors, notably Carl Froch, in a tirade during the press conference where the fight was announced this month. The heavyweight was earlier criticised by “The Cobra” for skipping Usyk. That, in Fury’s opinion, is a form of jealousy.
Tyson Fury also said, “ The fact that Bellew and Froch didn’t make any money out of the game is obviously hurtful to them. I’ve just signed the biggest deal in boxing history, which I can’t divulge to you right now. “
