The Riyadh championship belt will be at stake in the Fury-Ngannou fight
WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury commented on the upcoming fight against the former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
“I can stand and trade blows with anyone. I did it with Wilder. I did this with Wladimir Klitschko. Now I’ll stand and trade blows with this little bitch [Нганну]”Fury said.
I have not yet tried to hit in such a way as to set a new record, so he did not beat me in this. I beat the hardest puncher in boxing and knocked him out. So, until he defeats me, he can only dream about this record. I am the strongest puncher in martial arts.”
Fury previously compared Ngannou to WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO world champion Oleksandr Usyk. The Briton said that the Ukrainian’s blow would leave a bruise, while Francis would “blow your brains out.”
The 10-round fight between Fury and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will take place on October 28 in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The WBC granted Tyson special permission to fight the former UFC champion.
The Riyadh championship belt will be at stake in the Fury-Ngannou fight. The British promoter Frank Warren presented a special trophy at a joint press conference.
