Thursday was the last press conference before the boxing gala, which will be headlined by Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou. It was also attended by the father of the boxing champion John Fury and the legendary Mike Tyson.
There was talk of it in the spring, but is it realistically believed that the duel will actually happen? It’s impossible to say. But those who doubted it will see it on Saturday. The Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou duel is a reality.
Already on October 28, a boxing gala will be held in the Saudi Arabian city of Riyadh under the cover of Queensberry Promotions and although the whole card is not very attractive, the main draw is simply worth watching.
Boxing champion Fury is going to come up with a huge payday, and it should be no different for the former UFC heavyweight king, who is about to have his first ever boxing fight, and with such a big name.
Ngannou is virtually unchallenged according to experts and bookmakers, but nothing is ever certain in combat sports. It only takes one punch and everything can be different. But before the fight, Fury and his opponent entertained the fans at the press conference.
Staredown Fury vs. Ngannou entertained
Back on Thursday, there was a press conference where Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou had a verbal-only shootout. To make matters worse, both fighters had escorts with them. While the boxing champion had his father John behind him, the legendary Mike Tyson arrived with the MMA star.
It was John Fury and Mike Tyson who provided a considerable amount of entertainment. John performed in a bizarrely scary manner at times, but in the end he became one of the greatest entertainers, if not the greatest.
His best moment came when it came to his son’s staredown with Ngannou. When Fury and the former UFC champion faced each other, it was John who walked up to them shirtless.
The whole situation didn’t leave Ngannou cold. Understandably, he laughed. He’s probably never experienced a situation like this before and never will again. And given the reactions, it’s obvious that the fans were amused as well.
