Tyson Fury on his social media
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.
Ngannou, 36, last fought in January 2022 against Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC 270. In that confrontation, Francis won by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 17 wins and three losses on his record in mixed martial arts.
Fury, 34, boxed against Derek Chisora in December 2022. This fight ended in favor of Tyson by technical knockout. He has 33 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no defeats.
