WBC heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury commented on his upcoming fight with former UFC heavyweight division champion Francis Ngannou.
The fight under the boxing rules will take place on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This guy is supposed to be the hardest puncher in the world, but let’s see how he reacts when he gets hit by the Big GK. I’m looking forward to showing the world that The Gypsy King is the greatest fighter of his generation in an epic battle with another master of his craft. Francis looked tough when he jumped in the ring after the Whyte fight, but there is no one tougher than me, and you’ll all see that in devastating fashion on October 28.
