Tyson Fury Hails Joshua-Ngannou as a ‘Great Fight’

By
Tyson Fury Joshua-Ngannou

Tyson Fury has said Francis Ngannou should be grateful for the opportunity in which he finds himself ahead of Friday’s fight with Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia.

MMA fighters and boxers, as a rule, do not historically cross over into one another’s realms with great success.

Ngannou broke that generalization with a valiant and impressive performance against Fury in October, dropping the WBC heavyweight champion with a knockdown that shocked both sporting fraternities.

Fury eventually clawed himself back into the fight and squeaked past Ngannou with a narrow split decision.

Initial plans for Friday were for former unified heavyweight champion Joshua to take on longtime rival Deontay Wilder. Such plans were scuttled by Joseph Parker, who bullied, outfought and outboxed Wilder on Dec. 23. Wilder and Parker shared the billing with Joshua, who forced Otto Wallin to be withdrawn by his corner after five rounds.

Fury, speaking to “The Stomping Ground,” said Ngannou should be grateful to him for improving his finances and finding himself in a position to generate more money against Joshua.

By
Tyson Fury Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury foresees a knockout whenever he fights Oleksandr Usyk. He envisions the Ukrainian champion lying on the canvas, seven rounds into the fight. Can it turn into a reality? The British champion surely thinks so

The Gyspsy King’ will battle it out against Usyk with all the heavyweight straps on the line. While their electrifying showdown is derailed for May in Saudi Arabia, the anticipation of the bout is reaching a zenith. Amid the speculations and doubts about Fury’s fading boxing prowess, the latter is confident of pulling another win, and that too, splendidly. What prompted him to make such a claim?

Fury, 35, sat down with Charlie Parsons and had a candid response when asked about his prediction for the upcoming fight. Not only did Usyk have a little experience at heavyweight, but he also hadn’t impressed Fury with his outings to the square circle. Fury said, “He’s only had two or three fights at heavyweight. And to be honest, I haven’t been that impressed with him.”

He [Oleksandr Usyk] does what he’s got to do; he has got his wins, been paid. He gets the job done, and he goes home. So that’s what it is about,” Fury continued.

Ben Davison is the man behind Anthony Joshua’s resurgence after masterminding Tyson Fury’s comeback… he could be AJ’s secret weapon to topple the Gypsy King if he can dispatch Francis Ngannou first

Prior to Anthony Joshua‘s fight with Otto Wallin in December, it was not exactly clear which direction the Brit’s career was heading.

In his previous four fights, Joshua had worked with three different trainers, and not looked entirely convincing with any of them in his corner.

Joshua’s long-term coach Rob McCracken was dumped after his first loss to Oleksandr Usyk, and Robert Garcia couldn’t change the result in the rematch. In came another American, Derrick James, but Joshua still only laboured to wins over fringe contenders Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.

When the two-time heavyweight champion announced he would be trying another trainer to take on Wallin, it appeared he was lacking clarity on how he wanted to go about his business.

But Joshua proved the doubters wrong. With the highly-rated Ben Davison in his corner, AJ looked back to his brutal best as he broke down his opponent and forced the Swede’s corner to throw in the towel after five rounds.

Anthony Joshua: I don’t duck a challenge, I’ve signed to fight Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder before

Joshua however points out that even though bouts with those opponents never came to fruition, for his part he has previously agreed to fight both men.

Talks for a fight with Tyson Fury have stalled and collapsed in the past, while Joshua had inked a deal to fight Wilder this year, only for the American to suffer a surprise upset loss to Joseph Parker and nix the arrangement.

Francis Ngannou fooled Tyson Fury with Mike Tyson training trick

By
Francis Ngannou Tyson Fury Mike Tyson

Tyson Fury may have been fooled by Francis Ngannou before their boxing match. In October, the 37-year-old swapped the UFC cage for the boxing ring when he made his debut against none other than the WBC Heavyweight champion.

The Cameroon fighter exceeded expectations and pushed ‘The Gypsy King’ to his limi, even knocking him to the canvas in the third round. He was incredibly competitive throughout the 10-round encounter and only beaten via split decision, which some fans felt was the wrong call.

It is possible Fury and his team went into the fight not expecting much from Ngannou, if his workout posted to social media was anything to go by. Footage emerged of the former UFC Heavyweight Champion getting some reps in on the pads with new coach Mike Tyson watching on.

He looked somewhat lacklustre and some of boxing’s biggest names voiced their displeasure with Ngannou’s display. Former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch added: “Fury’s not going to be worried about getting hit by that monstrous punch, because I’ve seen Ngannou on the pads and he looks terrible.

Tyson Fury’s father shuts down rumour about wife Paris ahead of Oleksandr Usyk fight – ‘Absolute rubbish’

By
Tyson Fury Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury’s father, John, has shut down ‘rubbish’ claims that Paris Fury caused the boxing star’s eye injury.

Fury had been due to fight Oleksandr Usyk earlier this month but, after sustaining a deep gash to his eye, their bout has now been pushed back.

Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, then dubbed the 35-year-old a ‘coward’ and suggested his wife, Paris, had hit him with a frying pan to cause the delay.

Fury has already dismissed those claims, insisting they categorically aren’t true.

And his father John, speaking to Free Bets, has now responded by dubbing the rumours ‘absolute rubbish’.

“I’m surprised that men of their experience at the top level, being around top fighters can even talk like that,” he said.

“It’s absolute rubbish, it’s silly and they are just making themselves look stupid.

“They’re embarrassing themselves with those kinds of accusations. They’re worried, they’ve always been worried. When they’ve seen the shape Tyson’s in, they’ve thought, ‘hang on, we’ve dropped a clanger here’. They thought they’d see a Tyson who hasn’t trained.

“But you know what, that’s where you can get caught out, thinking you know too much.

Tyson Fury warned he would be ‘knocked out cold’ by Mike Tyson in dream fight

By
Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury has been brutally told he would be “knocked out cold” in an ultimate heavyweight fight against Mike Tyson. The boxing icon, after whom Fury was named, is still the youngest person to win a heavyweight world title at just 20.

Asked about a potential fight between the two Tysons, ex-world champion Carl Froch said he thinks ‘Iron Mike’ would have knocked Fury flat on his back. Froch has been embroiled in a war of wards with Fury’s dad John, who even dared the former super-middleweight to a fight, promising they could fill Wembley Stadium. Outspoken John Fury even put out a challenge to Mike Tyson.

Froch told Lucky Block: “Mike Tyson knocked out a few big lumps and tall guys too. I reckon Tyson Fury could keep him at bay for a bit, but we’re talking about a prime Mike Tyson, who was world champ at 20. I think a prime Mike Tyson beats almost anybody. Just the way he used to be in the ring, he was a dangerous, dangerous man. He never stopped throwing punches. He used to roll his way into range.

Francis Ngannou pinpoints big difference between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

By
tyson Fury Anthony Joshua Francis Ngannou

Francis Ngannou thinks Tyson Fury can handle a punch better than Anthony Joshua.

Ngannou, the ex-UFC champion, impressed fight fans with his professional boxing debut against Fury in October, putting the heavyweight champion on the canvas in the third round. Now, he’s getting ready for his second professional fight against Joshua on March 8.

Despite flooring Fury in his previous fight, Ngannou still lost by just one point. It was a confusing call that some people didn’t agree with. Ngannou now hopes that if he beats Joshua, he might get to duke it out with Fury once more after the Gypsy King’s heavyweight unification clash with Oleksandr Usyk is settled in May.

When Ngannou was asked if he thought Joshua could take a hit like the one Fury did, Ngannou told DAZN: “I have a doubt about that, Tyson has showed that he is very resilient. I saw him come back from a knockdown that you wouldn’t believe somebody would come back from. I think he is probably one of the most resistant people out there.”

But Ngannou also promised not to underestimate Joshua: “That is not a disrespect to AJ. I don’t believe that Joshua will take what Tyson did. Even going to the fight, I knew that even if I knock him down I will not get excited. That it wouldn’t mean anything because he always comes back, so I had to prepare for a very endured person. Psychologically that’s how I was.
