This is gonna be crazy! Tyson Fury responds to former UFC champion’s challenge, wants to make big money. Mike Tyson the referee?
While Tyson Fury is now preparing for another big fight, he has answered a very attractive challenge that has been talked about for some time. Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou is now available and nothing is stopping the clash of the two greats. What does the English boxer have to say?
The boxing world will finally see a spectacular fight to unify all four heavyweight titles. Tyson Fury will take on Oleksandr Usyk and the Englishman himself sees this as the fight of the century.
It’s not yet clear when and where it will be, but a final deal is reportedly imminent. There have been some pretty harsh statements from Fury. Nevertheless, he is looking forward to this fight. However, he’s already slowly focusing on other challenges.
Not too long ago, Fury announced the end of his career. He did make a comeback, however, after announcing his end, he talked a lot about the exhibition fight with Francis Ngannou. He was under contract at the time in the UFC as the heavyweight champion. But now he’s free.
Ngannou can now do whatever he wants. A few days ago, there was speculation that his first opponent in boxing would be Derek Chisora. But in the end it might actually be the previously announced Fury, who revealed that he really likes the idea.
Moreover, he is willing to not go by the current rules of boxing and give some advantages to his potential rival. That would undoubtedly be the use of smaller gloves. Fury likes the Queensbury rules.
“You want to make some money? Let’s have a huge fight to see who’s the biggest son of a b***tch on the planet. We’re gonna make it spicy, even in a cage. We might as well have an equally scary referee like Mike Tyson,” MMA Fighting quotes Fury as saying.
The idea alone is extremely tempting. Such an event would sell itself completely. Ngannou, however, has no experience in professional or amateur boxing. And there’s simply a huge difference between MMA and boxing.
If this fight happens, Fury will be a huge favorite. The grenade that Ngannou has in his hands, however, cannot be underestimated.
