Following the confirmation of their highly anticipated fight on October 28, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou have engaged in a series of heated exchanges, each vying to prove their superiority, News About Nigeria reports.
Fury boldly claims that he could knock out Ngannou after consuming 15 pints of beer, while the Cameroonian fighter, in response, advises the self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” to dance around the ring or face the risk of being rendered unconscious by his devastating touch.
Acknowledging Ngannou’s reputation as arguably the hardest puncher in boxing today, even Fury admits his power. However, the WBC heavyweight champion remains steadfast in his belief that he can overcome the former UFC heavyweight champion and even entertain the idea of having another fight on the same night.
“As soon as that bell rings, it’ll be an all-out assault! This guy is supposedly the hardest puncher in the world, but let’s see how he responds when he feels the impact of the Big GK’s fists.”
“I am eagerly anticipating my return to the ring, where I will demonstrate to the world that The Gypsy King is the greatest fighter of this generation, engaged in an epic battle with another master of his craft.”
“Francis displayed his toughness when he entered the ring after the Whyte fight, but there is no one tougher than me, and you will all witness that in devastating fashion on October 28.”
The highly anticipated sparring session is scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the first fight of the year for both competitors. It is also a dream come true for Ngannou, who has long aspired to face the WBC heavyweight champion for over three years.
“I have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to step into the ring with Tyson for the past three years. Boxing has always been my dream, and my goal has been to face the best.”
“After achieving the status of undisputed MMA Heavyweight Champion, this fight presents the chance to turn my dream into reality and solidify my position as the most fearsome man on the planet.”
“All I will say to Tyson for now is that he better dance in that ring because if I make contact, he will be rendered unconscious,” Ngannou boldly declared.
The upcoming fight in Saudi Arabia will be conducted under professional boxing rules, with three judges at ringside employing the 10-point must system to determine the victor.
