Former UFC fighter and MMA analyst Chael Sonnen shared his opinion on a possible boxing confrontation between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury under unique rules.
Chael Sonnen, quoted by MMA Junkie
I bring it to you because to watch Tyson Fury beg, it was surprising. I don’t want to call it disappointing. It was really close to calling it that, but I don’t want to call it that. So Tyson comes to us with perhaps the dumbest idea in sports history. He knows it is.
The Usyk vs Fury bout is expected to take place in late March or early April.
Fury, 34, fought Derek Chisora in December 2022. The fight ended with Tyson's victory by TKO in the tenth round. He has 33 wins (24 by KO) and no defeats on record.
Ngannou, 36, fought at UFC 270 in January 2022, beating Ciryl Gane by unanimous decision. In March 2021, at UFC 260, Francis knocked out Stipe Miocic in the second round. He has 17 wins and three losses under his belt.
