Boxing fans convinced Tyson Fury's "game-changing" opponent is Francis Ngannou

Boxing fans believe Tyson Fury will face Francis Ngannou in a crossover fight after his undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk fell through again.

Fury was in talks to face fellow heavyweight champion Usyk at the end of the year in Saudi Arabia after their fight for late April collapsed. The undisputed clash has now been delayed again as Fury's promoter Frank Warren has given January of next year as a rescheduled date for the fight.

Whilst discussing a potential crossover fight against Ngannou or UFC champion Jon Jones, Warren teased that Fury's next fight will be a game-changer. "Yeah, he's up for that," he told talkSPORT. "The type of money something like that could generate - why wait for people saying, 'Wait until next year,' when you can make these fights now. Why wouldn't you do that now?"
