The WBC world heavyweight champion said he made the Cameroonian fighter a star.
Tyson Fury says he made Francis Ngannou a star. Despite the fact that the Cameroonian is probably the UFC’s best-known fighter, the Briton believes that fighting him gave Ngannou his future in boxing.
The WBC world super heavyweight champion said the Cameroonian should thank him because he once agreed to share the ring with him and gave him a chance to earn big.
“We’re going to have a beautiful fight between Joshua and Ngannou. I’m not sure what people expected from this guy before our fight. Nobody took him seriously. He proved everyone wrong. It’s fantastic for him.
I agreed to meet Francis, making him a star, a multimillionaire. Now he has a chance to earn more. So he should thank me. He should get down on his knees and kiss my feet,” Fury told The Stomping Ground.
We remind you that the Joshua-Ngannou fight will take place on March 8 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Previously, Fury said how many rounds it would take to knock out Usik.
