Congolese heavyweight Martin Bakole spoke about the mood of the world champion before the fight.
Martin Bakole tells unknown facts about the fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. The Congolese heavyweight, in particular, spoke about the lack of spirit of the British boxer for the fight with the Cameroonian.
According to Fury’s regular sparring partner, the Briton is in a mental battle with Oleksandr Usyk as he prepares for the Ngannou showdown.
“I was in the training camp with Fury. If you look at my interviews before this fight, when they asked me about it, I said that I wouldn’t be surprised if Ngannou beats Fury, because Tyson is not really focused on what will happen in the hall I think that signing the contract for the fight with Usyk on the eve of the fight with Ngannou influenced his mood.
I’ve never seen Tyson train like this. He spent four to six rounds of sparring in the gym. Maybe he’ll watch this interview, then let him know he’s not 100 percent focused. This is not the Tyson I know from training with Klitschko, Chisoraor Dillian Whyte. He was completely different,” Boxing Social quoted Bakole as saying.
Let’s remember that Fury almost lost to Ngannou, winning only by split decision.
Previously, Ngannou promised to knock out Joshua in his upcoming fight.
