Francis Ngannou’s Chief Business Officer has praised his upcoming opponent Tyson Fury’s tenacity and career. He has been compared Fury to former champions Muhammad Ali and his namesake, Mike Tyson. This has cemented himself as one of of the greatest in the boxing world. However, he believes Francis Ngannou can prove his greatness also.

“All due respect in the world to a heavyweight fighter of Tyson’s caliber. He’s sitting up there with the Mike Tysons and Muhammad Alis of the world.

However, there is no one with the will and fight that Francis has. He’s beaten every insurmountable challenge in his life, whether in the ring or life.

It’s fair to say that no one wants to be on the end of one of his punches. Riyadh should get ready for a fight for the ages. This one will go down in history as one of the greatest sporting events of this generation.”

Quotes via WBN

Fury has an upcoming bout with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on October 28th. The bout will be under boxing rules in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Tyson Fury’s Career

Tyson Fury’s tale is widely recognised, commencing with his domestic honours in the UK. Nevertheless, there are critics who argue that Fury’s record is peppered with opponents of lesser stature. Some argue this overshadows his two most significant victories.

In Dusseldorf, Germany, a colossal upset played out in the heavyweight division. The reigning unified champion, Wladimir Klitschko, found himself beaten by the unassuming Brit. Tyson Fury, the younger challenger, thoroughly outmanoeuvred the Ukrainian maestro, securing a historic win that stripped Klitschko of his four belts and Lineal champion status.

After a protracted absence from the ring, Fury joined forces with the Hall of Fame promoter, Frank Warren, to meticulously plot his path back to heavyweight supremacy. Following two comeback bouts, he embraced the challenge of taking on the former WBC champion and one of the sport’s most formidable punchers, Deontay Wilder, in December 2018.

Their encounter resulted in a highly disputed draw, prolonging the captivating Fury vs. Wilder rivalry. Additionally, Fury partnered with Top Rank and ESPN in the United States. This led to a rematch with Wilder in February 2020. Remarkably, Fury declared his intention to confront the ferocious puncher head-on, employing a strategy honed in collaboration with his long-time associate, SugarHill Steward, to maximize his offensive capabilities.

Tyson Fury has rumouredly signed an offical fight bout with Oleksandr Usyk for the unified heavyweight championship.
