For his first boxing fight against Tyson Fury, on October 28 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Francis Ngannou saw things big. The 36-year-old Cameroonian, MMA star, will indeed be coached by former glory Mike Tyson. The two men already knew each other but their relationship is about to take a professional turn this time. Francis Ngannou has indeed succeeded in convincing the former heavyweight world champion (57 years old) to accompany him for this occasion.
“He is not a newcomer to combat, he is a world champion, commented Mike Tyson. The key will be combining his energy and fighting skills into his punches and using his agility to move quickly around the ring and then deliver the knockout blow. We are here to win. »
The challenge appears colossal. Tyson Fury (34 years old, 2.06 m, 120 kg) has 33 victories in professional boxing, including 24 before the limit, 1 draw and 0 defeat… Multiple world heavyweight champion, he beat opponents like Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder or Derek Chisora. He had been retired since last season but he agreed to put on the gloves especially for this fight against Francis Ngannou (36), with phenomenal power but without any experience in English boxing.
