The fight between Fury and Ngannou will take place on October 28 in Riyadh
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou spoke about the upcoming fight against the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
“I’m more than ready for the fight. I’m still recovering because my last real training session was on Saturday, and now we’re just training to keep our heart rate up and let the body recover before the fight.”
“Fury is a human being just like me, so I can beat him. Taking part in my Mike Tyson camp? It was very useful both technically and mentally. I will become the best boxer of my generation if I have at least a third of Mike Tyson’s technique.”
Ngannou left the UFC in January 2023, and in May he signed a contract with the PFL organization. 57-year-old Mike Tyson helps the French-Cameroonian mixed martial arts fighter prepare for his fight with Tyson Fury.
The 10-round fight between Fury and Ngannou will take place on October 28 in Riyadh. The WBC granted Tyson special permission to fight the former UFC champion.
At stake in the Fury-Ngannou fight will be the Riyadh championship belt, which has already been delivered to the capital of Saudi Arabia by WBC President Mauricio Suleiman.
Fury beat Dereck Chisora by TKO in his last fight in December 2022. Ngannou will hold his first fight under boxing rules. The French-Cameroonian fighter defeated Cyril Gan at UFC 270 in January 2022 in his last MMA fight.
