Francis Ngannou, after leaving the UFC, challenged the entire top of heavyweight boxing’s elite, despite the fact that the Cameroonian-born Frenchman himself had never competed in the professional ring. Many, including Wilder and Fury, accepted these challenges, but it seemed like this was just for PR’s sake. However, the Gypsy King would not have been the most cunning boxer of our time if he had not actually tried to get into such a fight. How can this threaten Tyson? Yes, maybe nothing.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has yet to provide an answer to the question of whether Fury’s belt will be at stake, but overall it doesn’t matter. There is practically no chance that the Briton will lose in such a duel, whether it is an exhibition or an official one. Ngannou is a non-professional boxer, his technique was enough to trap UFC fighters with his punches in small gloves and send them to knockouts. But in boxing, this technique is unlikely to help Ngannou. Francis will go out in a round or two, in which Tyson will tie him in the clinch and use his dirty tricks. And then, given the way Ngannou fights for oxygen in the later rounds of MMA, the former UFC champion is simply going to be crushed. Fury will simply hover around the panting Ngannou and taunt him.
Yes, Francis takes a crushing blow that nearly takes Alistair Overeem’s head off. But first of all, this blow still needs to be given, given the specifics of boxing, other gloves, etc. And secondly, Fury knows how to take a hit. Wilder, who has no weaker hitters than Ngannou, never managed to finish the Briton in three fights.
Well-known Russian promoter Kamil Gadzhiev is also of the opinion that the next fight will be a piece of cake for Fury.
“I think Ngannou just has zero chance if they fight in boxing. Zero chance. Don’t confuse MMA strikers with highly professional boxers, and Fury is one of the most professional boxers in the world. These are completely different stories. He would say different weight classes, but don’t be confused. This is a different class. The tough striker McGregor lost to Mayweather by one wicket. Although Mayweather was smaller and could finish at any time, ”Gadzhiev said on his YouTube channel.
Former super middleweight world champion Carl Froch has been even tougher about the upcoming fight. “I just heard Frank Warren say that Tyson Fury will fight Francis Ngannou. We are waiting for another bunch of garbage called “cross battle”. He says this fight will change all of boxing. Complete nonsense. I don’t like to swear, but this is kind of a diarrhea of words,” Froch said.
But Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter was less emotional, but said Fury should be stripped of the WBC belt.
“In fact, he does not violate any WBC rules, but from a sporting point of view, from a purely boxing point of view, he should be stripped of the title,” promoter Alexander Krasyuk said.

Of course, these are all reflections that the fight will take place with a sports component. But there are rumors that Ngannou and Fury will still meet in an exhibition match. Then the question arises: what is all this for? Why all these loud statements, trash talk? To get in the ring and have six demo rounds where they won’t even give their best? Then you should agree with the words of Carl Froch: this is not a sport, but a bunch of rubbish. Beating his chest and calling everyone a coward, Fury chooses a rookie as his rival, at a time when everyone expected completely different fights from him. It causes nothing but disappointment. And for Ngannou, you just have to be happy: Francis still reached those fabulous money that he did not receive in the UFC, and he greeted Dana White.
