Olympic Champion 2020 Albert Batyrgaziev who is in the top 7 of the WBA lightweight rankings, in a conversation with expressed his respect to the former UFC champion from Cameroon Francois Ngannou for daring to face a British WBC holder Tyson’s Fury by the rules of boxing.
The fight under the rules of boxing should take place on October 28 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
– To be honest, I have no emotion in this fight. I know Ngannou is a former UFC champion. Yes, he has zero boxing losses, but also zero wins. There are always chances, however slim. Hard workers are always hard workers. If Ngannou was a UFC champion, he knows how to handle it. Although I think Ngannou himself understands that he doesn’t compete with the current champion. But Ngannou has a lot of respect for the fact that he dared to speak by boxing rules and show his skills in the sport. And Fury, on the contrary, has a great responsibility – everyone expects him to win, and soon. Although it seems to me that he generally doesn’t care what they think of him. In general, it will be interesting to watch the UFC champion against a heavyweight champion boxer, Batyrgaziev told .
Francis Ngannou has fought 20 fights in MMA and won 17. Fury has 33 wins in 34 bouts in professional boxing.
