There are few challenges left for Tyson Fury in the world of boxing, so the “Gypsy King” woke up a monster from another world and challenged UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
The super-heavyweight champion knocked out Wilder in October last year in a match that will be remembered for one of the best exchanges of blows in the history of sports, and he is waiting for the winner of the duel between Usik and Joshua, which is scheduled for April.
The problem is that the controversial Englishman is not known for his patience, so he decided to be the main topic of martial arts fans again. Through social networks, Fury sent an open challenge to Ngannou to an unprecedented fight that would take place according to the rules of boxing, but with UFC gloves.
– You wanted to come to my world and box with Wilder. I guarantee you that you would be knocked out and at the same time earn the most money in your life, think about it – says Fury.
Ngannou is also more than ready to accept the offer. – After I do my job on January 22, I will fight with you under any rules. In the ring, octagon, or telephone booth – he replied. Ngannou is defending his title against Jan. 22 in a match against Cyril Gane, after which his contract with the UFC expires, so the African could easily sign a contract with Fury.
