Athletistic/Boxing. Former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor has expressed his respect for former promotion champion Francis Ngannou for his performance in a boxing match against WBC world champion Tyson Fury. Fury won by split decision, but during the fight he was knocked down by a mixed martial arts fighter.

“I’ll tell you this: heavyweight boxing is just awesome. And now add Ngannou to that – there will be no problem setting up fights between Ngannou and Joshua, and Ngannou against Chisora. There will be no obstacles.

With Ngannou, we have another heavyweight contender. Well done.

Tyson has a strong chin. Usyk is questionable right now, but I don’t think Usyk is as powerful as Ngannou. Look, Ngannou used to raise his head towards the ceiling in mixed fights. Have you seen those uppercuts in the clinch? – McGregor quote from MMA Junkie.
